Manin's conjecture for a certain singular cubic surface

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We prove Manin's conjecture for a singular cubic surface S with a singularity of type E6. If U is the open subset of S obtained by deleting the unique line from S, then the number of rational points in U with anticanonical height bounded by B behaves asymptotically as cB(log B)^6, where the constant c agrees with the one conjectured by Peyre.
