Abstract

Let dd and nn be natural numbers. Let νd,n:RnRN\nu_{d,n}: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{N} denote the Veronese embedding with N=Nn,d:=(n+d1d)N=N_{n,d}:=\binom{n+d-1}{d}, defined by listing all the monomials of degree dd in nn variables using the lexicographical ordering. Let a,νd,n(x)Z[x]\langle \boldsymbol{a}, \nu_{d,n}(\boldsymbol{x})\rangle\in \mathbb{Z}[\boldsymbol{x}] be a homogeneous polynomial in nn variables of degree dd with integer coefficients a\boldsymbol{a}, where ,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle denotes the inner product. For a non-singular form PZ[x]P\in \mathbb{Z}[\boldsymbol{x}] of degree k (d)k\ (\leq d) in NN variables, consider a set of integer vectors aZN\boldsymbol{a}\in \mathbb{Z}^N, defined by A(A;P)={aZN: P(a)=0, aA}.\mathfrak{A}(A;P)=\{\boldsymbol{a}\in \mathbb{Z}^N:\ P(\boldsymbol{a})=0,\ \|\boldsymbol{a}\|_{\infty}\leq A\}. By handling a new lattice problem via the geometry of numbers, we confirm that whenever n>24dn> 24d and d17,d\geq 17, the proportion of integer coefficients aA(A;P)\boldsymbol{a}\in \mathfrak{A}(A;P), whose associated equation fa(x)=0f_{\boldsymbol{a}}(\boldsymbol{x})=0 satisfies the Hasse principle, converges to 11 as AA\rightarrow\infty. This improves on the recent work of the second author.
