Let $p$ be a prime and let $L$ be a quadratic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-lattice with quadratic form $Q$. For $t\neq 0$ the local representation density $\alpha_p(t;L)$ is the stable normalised growth of the congruence counts of solutions to…
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…
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 show that if over some number field there exists a certain diagonal plane cubic curve that is locally solvable everywhere, but that does not have points over any cubic galois extension of the number field, then the algebraic part of the…
Let $k$ be a positive integer and let $X_k$ be the cubic hypersurface defined by the equation $x^3-(y_1^2+\cdots+y_{4k}^2)z=0$. In this paper, we give an asymptotic formula for the counting function of semi-integral points on $X_k$. We also…
A (global) determinantal representation of hypersurface in P^n is a matrix, whose entries are linear forms in homogeneous coordinates and whose determinant defines the hypersurface. We study the properties of such representations for…
In this article we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points, with bounded denominators, within a given distance to a compact submanifold $\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathbb{R}^M$ with a certain curvature condition. Our result…
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…
A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of K-rational points on certain algebraic varieties defined over a number field K. In recent years, a method using universal torsors has been successfully applied to several hard special cases…
We establish a sharp asymptotic formula for the number of rational points up to a given height and within a given distance from a hypersurface. Our main innovation is a bootstrap method that relies on the synthesis of Poisson summation,…
In this paper, we will give an upper bound and a lower bound of the arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel function of projective hypersurfaces, which are uniform and explicit. These two bounds have the optimal dominant terms. As an application, we use…
We study the question of the existence of a decomposition of the diagonal for very general quartic and $(2,3)$-complete intersection $n$-folds. Using cycle-theoretic techniques of Lange, Pavic and Schreieder we reduce the question via a…
In this paper, we establish the asymptotic estimates for the rational lines on diagonal cubic hypersurfaces defined by $\sum_{i=1}^sc_ix^3_i=0$ with $c_i\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus \{0\},$ provided that $s\geq 19.$ This improves the previously…
Let X be a non-singular projective hypersurface of degree 4, which is defined over the rational numbers. Assume that X has dimension 39 or more, and that X contains a real point and p-adic points for every prime p. Then X is shown to…
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…
We present a method for calculating the Brauer group of a surface given by a diagonal equation in the projective space. For diagonal quartic surfaces with coefficients in Q we determine the Brauer groups over Q and Q(i).
We compute the dynamical degrees of certain compositions of reflections in points on a smooth cubic fourfold. Our interest in these computations stems from the irrationality problem for cubic fourfolds. Namely, we hope that they will…
Using a two-dimensional version of the delta method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded height on non-singular complete intersections of cubic and quadric hypersurfaces of dimension at least $23$…
In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…
A version of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method is developed for number fields K/Q and is used to show that non-singular projective cubic hypersurfaces over K always have a K-rational point when they have dimension at least 8.
