AbstractA method is described to sum multi-dimensional arithmetic functions subject to hyperbolic summation conditions, provided that asymptotic formulae in rectangular boxes are available. In combination with the circle method, the new method is a versatile tool to count rational points on algebraic varieties defined by multi-homogeneous diagonal equations.

Let 𝔽q stand for the finite field of odd characteristic p with q elements (q = pn, n ∈ ℕ) and [Formula: see text] denote the set of all the nonzero elements of 𝔽q. Let m and t be positive integers. By using the Smith normal form of the exponent matrix, we obtain a formula for the number of rational points on the variety defined by the following system of equations over [Formula: see text] where the integers t > 0, r0 = 0 < r1 < r2 < ⋯ < rt, 1 ≤ n1 < n2 <, ⋯ < nt and 0 ≤ j ≤ t − 1, bk ∊ 𝔽q, ak,i ∊ [Formula: see text] (k = 1, …, m, i = 1, …, rt), and the exponent of each variable is a positive integer. Further, under some natural conditions, we arrive at an explicit formula for the number of 𝔽q-rational points on the above variety. It extends the results obtained previously by Wolfmann, Sun, Wang, Hong et al. Our result gives a partial answer to an open problem raised in [The number of rational points of a family of hypersurfaces over finite fields, J. Number Theory 156 (2015) 135–153].

AbstractLet X be an algebraic variety and let f:X−−→X be a rational self-map with a fixed point q, where everything is defined over a number field K. We make some general remarks concerning the possibility of using the behaviour of f near q to produce many rational points on X. As an application, we give a simplified proof of the potential density of rational points on the variety of lines of a cubic fourfold, originally proved by Claire Voisin and the first author in 2007.

AbstractFollowing some remarks made by O'Grady and Oguiso, the potential density of rational points on the second punctual Hilbert scheme of certain K3 surfaces is proved.
