Abstract

Following the line of attack from La Bret\`eche, Browning and Peyre, we prove Manin's conjecture in its strong form conjectured by Peyre for a family of Ch\^atelet surfaces which are defined as minimal proper smooth models of affine surfaces of the form Y2aZ2=F(X,1), Y^2-aZ^2=F(X,1), where a=1a=-1, FZ[x1,x2]F \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,x_2] is a polynomial of degree 4 whose factorisation into irreducibles contains two non proportional linear factors and a quadratic factor which is irreducible over Q[i]\mathbb{Q}[i]. This result deals with the last remaining case of Manin's conjecture for Ch\^atelet surfaces with a=1a=-1 and essentially settles Manin's conjecture for Ch\^atelet surfaces with a<0a<0.
