Counting Primitive Points of Bounded Height
نویسنده
چکیده
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. We also introduce the notion of an adelic Lipschitz height generalizing that of Masser and Vaaler. This will lead to further applications involving points of fixed degree on linear varieties and algebraic numbers of fixed degree satisfying certain subfield conditions.

Lattice Point Counting and Height Bounds over Number Fields and Quaternion Algebras
An important problem in analytic and geometric combinatorics is estimating the number of lattice points in a compact convex set in a Euclidean space. Such estimates have numerous applications throughout mathematics. In this note, we exhibit applications of a particular estimate of this sort to several counting problems in number theory: counting integral points and units of bounded height over ...
متن کاملCounting Rational Points on Ruled Varieties
In this paper, we prove a general result computing the number of rational points of bounded height on a projective variety V which is covered by lines. The main technical result used to achieve this is an upper bound on the number of rational points of bounded height on a line. This upper bound is such that it can be easily controlled as the line varies, and hence is used to sum the counting fu...
متن کاملCounting points of fixed degree and bounded height on linear varieties
We count points of fixed degree and bounded height on a linear projective variety defined over a number field k. If the dimension of the variety is large enough compared to the degree we derive asymptotic estimates as the height tends to infinity. This generalizes results of Thunder, Christensen and Gubler and special cases of results of Schmidt and Gao.
متن کاملCounting Points of Fixed Degree and Bounded Height
We consider the set of points in projective n-space that generate an extension of degree e over given number field k, and deduce an asymptotic formula for the number of such points of absolute height at most X, as X tends to infinity. We deduce a similar such formula with instead of the absolute height, a so-called adelic-Lipschitz height.
