Counting rational points on quadric surfaces

Number Theory 2018-09-10 v3

Abstract

We give an upper bound for the number of rational points of height at most BB, lying on a surface defined by a quadratic form QQ. The bound shows an explicit dependence on QQ. It is optimal with respect to BB, and is also optimal for typical forms QQ.
