Abstract

A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let F(x1,,xn)F(x_1, \ldots, x_n) be a degree dd homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those of the seminal work of B. J. Birch, for which the equation F(x1,,xn)=0F (x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0 has infinitely many integer solutions with semiprime coordinates. Previously it was known, by a result of \'A. Magyar and T. Titichetrakun, that under the same hypotheses there exist infinitely many integer solutions to the equation with coordinates that have at most 384n3/2d(d+1)384 n^{3/2} d (d+1) prime factors.
