Abstract

Let FF be a non-singular homogeneous polynomial of degree dd in nn variables. We give an asymptotic formula of the pairs of integer points (x,y)(\mathbf x, \mathbf y) with xX|\mathbf x| \le X and yY|\mathbf y| \le Y which generate a line lying in the hypersurface defined by FF, provided that n>2d1d4(d+1)(d+2)n > 2^{d-1}d^4(d+1)(d+2). In particular, by restricting to Zariski-open subsets we are able to avoid imposing any conditions on the relative sizes of XX and YY.
