Abstract
Let be a finite field extension of the function field and its algebraic closure. We count points in projective space with given height and of fixed degree over the field . If we derive an asymptotic estimate for their number as the height tends to infinity. As an application we also deduce asymptotic estimates for certain decomposable forms.
