Abstract

Let F1,,FRF_1,\ldots,F_R be homogeneous polynomials of degree d2d\ge 2 with integer coefficients in nn variables, and let F=(F1,,FR)\mathbf{F}=(F_1,\ldots,F_R). Suppose that F1,,FRF_1,\ldots,F_R is a non-singular system and n4d+2d2R5n\ge 4^{d+2}d^2R^5. We prove that there are infinitely many solutions to F(x)=0\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{0} in prime coordinates if (i) F(x)=0\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{0} has a non-singular solution over the pp-adic units \Up\U_p for all prime numbers pp, and (ii) F(x)=0\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{0} has a non-singular solution in the open cube (0,1)n(0,1)^n.
