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…

Let $F(x_1,...,x_n)$ be a form of degree $d\geq 2$, which produces a geometrically irreducible hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$. This paper is concerned with the number of rational points on F=0 which have height at most $B$. Whenever…

We prove asymptotic formulas for the number of rational points of bounded height on certain blow-ups of the projective space.

We count rational points of bounded height on the Cayley ruled cubic surface and interpret the result in the context of general conjectures due to Batyrev and Tschinkel.

We give uniform upper bounds for the number of rational points of height at most $B$ on non-singular complete intersections of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^3$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. To do this, we combine determinant methods with descent…

We investigate the average number of solutions of certain quadratic congruences. As an application, we establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface whose singularity type is A_5+A_1.

We prove an upper bound for the number of rational points of bounded height on irreducible affine hypersurfaces. More precisely, given an irreducible polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1, \dots, X_n]$, we prove an upper bound on the number of…

We establish the sharp estimate <<_d N^{2/d} for the number of rational points of height at most N on an irreducible projective curve of degree d. We deduce this from a result for general hypersurfaces that is sensitive to the coefficients…

A conjecture of Serre concerns the number of rational points of bounded height on a finite cover of projective space P^{n-1}. In this paper, we achieve Serre's conjecture in the special case of smooth cyclic covers of any degree when n is…

A conjecture of Batyrev and Manin predicts the asymptotic behaviour of rational points of bounded height on smooth projective varieties over number fields. We prove some new cases of this conjecture for conic bundle surfaces equipped with…

We use a global version of Heath-Brown's $p-$adic determinant method developed by Salberger to give upper bounds for the number of rational points of height at most $B$ on non-singular cubic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. The bounds are…

We give a relatively short and elementary proof of Manin's conjecture for split smooth quintic del Pezzo surfaces over the rational numbers.

We show under the assumption that the Tate-Shafarevich group of any elliptic curve over the rational numbers is finite that the cubic surface $x_1^3 + p_1p_2x_2^3 + p_2p_3x_3^3 + p_3p_1x_4^3 = 0$ has a rational point, where $p_1, p_2$ and…

In this paper, we will give a uniform upper bound of the number of rational points of bounded height in non-singular curves by applying the global determinant method.

The purpose of this article is twofold. On the one hand, we prove asymptotic formulas for the quantitative distribution of rational points on any smooth non-split projective quadratic surface. We obtain the optimal error term for the real…

The Cayley cubic surface is given by the equation sum_{i=1}^4 X_i^{-1}=0. We show that the number of non-trivial primitive integer points of size at most B is of exact order B(log B)^6, as predicted by Manin's conjecture.

In this paper the height zeta function associated to a certain singular del Pezzo surface of degree four is studied. If $U$ denotes the open subset formed by deleting the unique line from this surface, then an asymptotic formula for the…

Let X be a projective cubic hypersurface of dimension 11 or more, which is defined over the rationals. In this paper it is shown that X contains rational points provided that the cubic form defining X can be written as the sum of two forms…

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…

Given a non-singular diagonal cubic hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\mathrm{char} (\mathbb{F}_q)\neq 3$, we show that the number of rational points of height at most $|P|$ is $O(|P|^{3+\varepsilon})$ for…
