Abstract
Asgarli, Ghioca, and Reichstein proved that if is a field with , then for any positive integers and , and separable field extension with degree , there exists a point which does not lie on any degree hypersurface defined over . They asked whether the result holds when . We answer their question in the affirmative by combining various ideas from arithmetic geometry. More generally, we show that for each positive integer and separable field extension with degree , there exists a point such that the vector space of degree forms over that vanish at has the expected dimension. We also discuss applications to linear systems of hypersurfaces with special properties.
