In recent years, a method using universal torsors has been successfully applied to several hard special cases of Manin's conjecture over the field Q of rational numbers. Combining this method with techniques developed by Schanuel, we give a proof of Manin's conjecture over arbitrary number fields for the singular cubic surface S given by the equation w^3 = x y z.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-04T12:15:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D45", "14G05" ], "keywords": [ "singular cubic surface", "counting rational points", "manins conjecture", "hard special cases", "arbitrary number fields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.0383F" } } }
