On a conjecture of Wooley and lower bounds for cubic hypersurfaces

Let $X \subset \mathbf{P}_{\mathbf{Q}}^{n-1}$ be a cubic hypersurface cut out by the vanishing of a non-degenerate rational cubic form in $n$ variables. Let $N(X,B)$ denote the number of rational points on $X$ of height at most $B$. In this article we obtain lower bounds for $N(X,B)$ for cubic hypersufaces, provided only that $n$ is large enough. In particular, we show that $N(X,B) \gg B^{n-9}$ if $n \geq 39$, thereby proving a conjecture of T. D. Wooley for non-conical cubic hypersurfaces with large enough dimension.

Counting solutions to quadratic polynomials

Using the circle method, we obtain asymptotic formulae for the number of integer solutions to certain quadratic polynomials that are uniform in the coefficients of the polynomial.

Some new results in quantitative Diophantine approximation

In this article we establish two new results on quantitative Diophantine approximation for one-parameter families of diagonal ternary indefinite forms. In the first result, we consider quadratic forms taking values at prime points. In the second, we examine inhomogeneous forms of arbitrary degree taking values at integer points.

On correlations between class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields

Let $h(-n)$ be the class number of the imaginary quadratic field with discriminant $-n$. We establish an asymtotic formula for correlations involving $h(-n)$ and $h(-n-l)$, over fundamental discriminants that avoid the congruence class $1\pmod{8}$. Our result is uniform in the shift $l$, and the proof uses an identity of Gauss relating $h(-n)$ to representations of integers as sums of three squares. We also prove analogous results on correlations involving $r_Q(n)$, the number of representations of an integer $n$ by an integral positive definite quadratic form $Q$.

Counting integer points on quadrics with arithmetic weights

Let $F \in \mathbf{Z}[\boldsymbol{x}]$ be a diagonal, non-singular quadratic form in $4$ variables. Let $λ(n)$ be the normalised Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic Hecke form of full level. We give an upper bound for the problem of counting integer zeros of $F$ with $|\boldsymbol{x}| \leq X$, weighted by $λ(x_1)$.
