Rational points on algebraic varieties

More about the book

The content covers a range of topics in algebraic geometry and number theory, including diagonal cubic equations in four variables, rational points on cubic surfaces, and ternary quadratic forms. It discusses torseurs arithmétiques and fibré spaces, along with height zeta functions and their applications to toric varieties. The annotation also addresses the Hasse principle for curves of genus one and the associated Selmer groups, providing proofs for key theorems. It examines Enriques surfaces with dense rational points and the density of integral points on algebraic varieties, detailing geometric methods and approximation techniques. The composition of points related to the Mordell-Weil problem for cubic surfaces is explored, along with the structure of universal equivalence and birationally trivial cubic surfaces. The text presents refined conjectures, Tamagawa numbers for diagonal cubic surfaces, and the Hasse principle for complete intersections in projective space. Additionally, it includes a construction of k-rational curves on Kummer surfaces and delves into arithmetic stratifications and partial Eisenstein series. The discussion on weak approximation and R-equivalence on cubic surfaces highlights geometric backgrounds and adelic results, while Hua's lemma and exponential sums over binary forms provide further insights into integral points on affine curves.
