The Asymptotics of Points of Bounded Height on Diagonal Cubic and Quartic Threefolds
For the families ax = by +z +v +w, a, b = 1, . . . , 100, and ax = by + z + v +w, a, b = 1, . . . , 100, of projective algebraic threefolds, we test numerically the conjecture of Manin (in the refined form due to Peyre) about the asymptotics of points of bounded height on Fano varieties.
متن کاملCounting Primitive Points of Bounded Height
Let k be a number field and K a finite extension of k. We count points of bounded height in projective space over the field K generating the extension K/k. As the height gets large we derive asymptotic estimates with a particularly good error term respecting the extension K/k. In a future paper we will use these results to get asymptotic estimates for the number of points of fixed degree over k...
متن کاملCounting rational points on ruled varieties over function fields
Let K be the function field of an algebraic curve C defined over a finite field Fq. Let V ⊂ PK be a projective variety which is a union of lines. We prove a general result computing the number of rational points of bounded height on V/K. We first compute the number of rational points on a general line defined over K, and then sum over the lines covering V . Mathematics Subject Classification: 1...
متن کاملAlgebraic Points of Small Height Missing a Union of Varieties
Let K be a number field, Q, or the field of rational functions on a smooth projective curve over a perfect field, and let V be a subspace of KN , N ≥ 2. Let ZK be a union of varieties defined over K such that V * ZK . We prove the existence of a point of small height in V \ZK , providing an explicit upper bound on the height of such a point in terms of the height of V and the degree of a hypers...
متن کاملUnlikely, Likely and Impossible Intersections without Algebraic Groups
We formulate function field analogues for the PinkZilber Conjecture and for the Bounded Height Conjecture. The “special” varieties in our formulation are varieties defined over the constant field. We prove our function field Pink-Zilber Conjecture for all subvarieties, and we prove our function field Bounded Height Conjecture for a certain class of curves. We explain that for our problems the a...
