Using recent work of the first author~\cite{Bet}, we prove a strong version of the Manin-Peyre's conjectures with a full asymptotic and a power-saving error term for the two varieties respectively in $\mathbb{P}^2 \times \mathbb{P}^2$ with…
The conjectures of Manin and Peyre are confirmed for a certain threefold.
We prove the thin set version of Manin's conjecture for the chordal (or: determinantal) cubic fourfold, which is the secant variety of the Veronese surface. We reduce this counting problem to a result of Schmidt for quadratic points in the…
Let S Q denote x 3 = Q(y 1 ,. .. , y m)z where Q is a primitive positive definite quadratic form in m variables with integer coefficients. This S Q ranges over a class of singular cubic hypersurfaces as Q varies. For S Q we prove (i)…
We prove a power saving upper bound for the sum of Fourier coefficients $\rho_f(\cdot)$ of a fixed cubic metaplectic cusp form $f$ over primes. Our result is the cubic analogue of a celebrated 1990 Theorem of Duke and Iwaniec, and the…
Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…
We prove Manin's conjecture for a singular cubic surface S with a singularity of type E6. If U is the open subset of S obtained by deleting the unique line from S, then the number of rational points in U with anticanonical height bounded by…
The Manin conjecture is established for a split singular cubic surface in P^3, with singularity type D_5.
We prove Manin's conjecture over imaginary quadratic number fields for a cubic surface with a singularity of type E_6.
In this note, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on the singular cubic surface $$ x_0(x_1^2 + x_2^2)=x_3^3 $$ with a power-saving error term, which verifies the Manin-Peyre conjectures for…
We establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is 2A_2+A_1. For this, we make use of a deep result about the equidistribution of the values of a certain restricted divisor function in three…
In this paper, we prove that every prime $p$ which is congruent to $4,7$ modulo $9$ is the sum of two rational cubes. This is $2/3$ of Sylvester's conjecture which has a history of nearly 150 years since 1879. In the proof, we use recent…
We compare the Manin-type conjecture for Campana points recently formulated by Pieropan, Smeets, Tanimoto and V\'{a}rilly-Alvarado with an alternative prediction of Browning and Van Valckenborgh in the special case of the orbifold…
The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for smooth spherical Fano threefolds of semisimple rank one and type N. Together with the previously solved case T and the toric cases, this covers all types of smooth spherical Fano threefolds. The…
A strong quantitative form of Manin's conjecture is established for a certain variety in biprojective space. The singular integral in an application of the circle method involves the third power of the integral sine function, and is…
We prove the Tate conjecture for integral degree 4 classes on a smooth cubic hypersurface X of dimension 4 over an algebraic closure of a field finitely generated over its prime subfield.
This paper proposes a totally constructive approach for the proof of Hilbert's theorem on ternary quartic forms. The main contribution is the ladder technique, with which the Hilbert's theorem is proved vividly.
We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q and whose singularity type is D_4. This improves on a result of…
The period map for cubic fourfolds takes values in a locally symmetric variety of orthogonal type of dimension 20. We determine the image of this period map (thus confirming a conjecture of Hassett) and give at the same time a new proof of…
Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…
