Unirationality conjecture for norm surfaces defined by sextic polynomials
Unirationality conjecture for norm surfaces defined by sextic polynomials
Let be a number field and let be a cyclic extension of degree . For a polynomial of degree , let denote the variety defined by the norm equation associated with . A -rational point on is non-trivial if it is not one of the trivial points arising from the construction of the surface. Unirationality conjecture. If there exists a non-trivial -rational point on , then is -unirational. The preceding approximation theorem establishes unirationality for suitably approximated sextics with a rational point at infinity, motivating this conjecture; the general assertion for sextic polynomials is left open in the source.
