Abstract

Let n4n \geqslant 4. In this article, we will determine the asymptotic behaviour of the size of the set M(B)M(B) of integral points (a0:...:an)(a_{0}:... :a_{n}) on the hyperplane i=0nXi=0\sum_{i=0}^{n}X_{i}=0 in Pn\mathbf{P}^{n} such that aia_{i} is squareful (an integer aa is called squareful if the exponent of each prime divisor of aa is at least two), non-zero and aiB|a_{i}|\leq B for each i{0,...,n}i \in \{0,...,n\}, when BB goes to infinity. For this, I will use the classical Hardy-Littlewood method. The result obtained supports a possible generalization of the Brauer-Manin program to Fano orbifolds.
