The density of rational points on a certain singular cubic surface

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v4 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We show that the number of non-trivial rational points of height at most BB, that lie on the cubic surface x1x2x3=x4(x1+x2+x3)2x_1x_2x_3=x_4(x_1+x_2+x_3)^2, has order of magnitude B(logB)6B(\log B)^6. This agrees with the Manin conjecture.
