Schinzel Hypothesis on average and rational points

Number Theory 2023-02-06 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We resolve Schinzel's Hypothesis (H) for 100%100\% of polynomials of arbitrary degree. We deduce that a positive proportion of diagonal conic bundles over Q\mathbb{Q} with any given number of degenerate fibres have a rational point, and obtain similar results for generalised Ch\^atelet equations.
