On Manin's conjecture for a certain singular cubic surface

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let U denote the open subset formed by deleting the unique line from the singular cubic surface x_1x_2^2+x_2x_0^2+x_3^3=0. In this paper an asymptotic formula is obtained for the number of rational points on U of bounded height, which thereby verifies the Manin conjecture for this particular surface.
