Abstract
Batyrev and Tschinkel's example is a Fermat cubic surface bundle which is a Fano -fold. It is the first example for which Manin's conjecture can never hold for a proper closed exceptional set. Recently, Lehmann, Sengupta, and Tanimoto proposed a conjectural geometric description of the exceptional set in Manin's conjecture and showed that it is always contained in a thin set. Over a field of characteristic , we explicitly construct finitely many thin maps such that any thin map with equal or larger - and -values in lexicographical order factors rationally through one of them. In particular, this defines a thin set which coincides with Lehmann-Sengupta-Tanimoto's conjectural exceptional set.
