Quartic Forms in Many Variables

Number Theory 2014-05-29 v1

Abstract

We show that a quartic pp-adic form with at least 31923192 variables possesses a non-trivial zero. We also prove new results on systems of cubic, quadratic and linear forms. As an example, we show that for a system comprising two cubic forms 132132 variables are sufficient.
