Local solubility of ternary cubic forms

Number Theory 2024-12-20 v1

Abstract

We consider cubic forms ϕa,b(x,y,z)=ax3+by3z3\phi_{a,b}(x,y,z) = ax^3 + by^3 - z^3 with coefficients a,bZa,b \in \mathbb{Z}. We give an asymptotic formula for how many of these forms are locally soluble everywhere, i.e. we give an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of integers (a,b)(a, b) that satisfy 1aA1 \leq a \leq A, 1bB1 \leq b \leq B and some mild conditions, such that ϕa,b\phi_{a,b} has a non-zero solution in Qp\mathbb{Q}_p for all primes pp.
