Huang's rational-point upper-bound conjecture for nondegenerate submanifolds

From papers

Let M\mathcal M be a bounded immersed submanifold of RM\mathbb{R}^{M} with boundary, of dimension nn and codimension RR. Suppose that M\mathcal M is ll-nondegenerate everywhere with lleqR+1lleq R+1. Let NM(Q,δ)N_{\mathcal M}(Q,\delta) denote the number of rational points of denominator at most QQ lying within the specified δ\delta-neighborhood of M\mathcal M. Huang's conjecture. There exists a constant cM>0c_{\mathcal M}>0 depending only on M\mathcal M such that

NM(Q,δ)cMδRQn+1,N_{\mathcal M}(Q, \delta)\leq c_{\mathcal M}\delta^R Q^{n+1},
