Number Theory 2020-03-31 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a strategy for the calculation of the proportion of everywhere locally soluble diagonal hypersurfaces of Pn\mathbb{P}^{n} of fixed degree. Our strategy is based on the product formula established by Bright, Browning and Loughran. Their formula reduces the problem into the calculation of the proportions of Qv\mathbb{Q}_{v}-soluble diagonal hypersurfaces for all places vv. As worked examples, we carry out our strategy in the cases of quadratic and cubic hypersurfaces. As a consequence, we prove that around 99.99%99.99\% of diagonal cubic 44-folds have Q\mathbb{Q}-rational points under a hypothesis on the Brauer-Manin obstruction.
