Counting rational points on smooth hypersurfaces with high degree

Abstract

Let XX be a smooth projective hypersurface defined over Q\mathbb{Q}. We provide new bounds for rational points of bounded height on XX. In particular, we show that if XX is a smooth projective hypersurface in Pn\mathbb{P}^n with n4n\geq 4 and degree d50d\geq 50, then the set of rational points on XX of height bounded by BB have cardinality On,d,ε(Bn2+ε)O_{n,d,\varepsilon}(B^{n-2+\varepsilon}). If XX is smooth and has degree d6d\geq 6, we improve the dimension growth conjecture bound. We achieve an analogue result for affine hypersurfaces whose projective closure is smooth.
