Sarnak's saturation problem for complete intersections

Number Theory 2019-02-20 v3

Abstract

We study almost prime solutions of systems of Diophantine equations in the Birch setting. Previous work shows that there exist integer solutions of size B with each component having no prime divisors below B1/uB^{1/u}, where u=c0n3/2u=c_0n^{3/2}, nn is the number of variables and c0c_0 is a constant depending on the degree and the number of equations. We improve the polynomial growth n3/2n^{3/2} to the logarithmic lognloglogn.\frac{\log n}{\log \log n}. Our main new ingredients are the generalisation of the Br\"udern-Fouvry vector sieve in any dimension and the incorporation of smooth weights into the Davenport-Birch version of the circle method.
