Browning–Heath-Brown–Salberger's rational-point conjecture for integral varieties

From papers

Let ZPNZ\subset\mathbb{P}^N be an integral variety of degree d2d\geq 2 and dimension mm. For a rational point x=[x]PN(Q)x=[\mathbf{x}]\in\mathbb{P}^N(\mathbb{Q}), represented by a primitive integer vector, let H(x)=xH(x)=|\mathbf{x}|, and define

NZ(B)=#{xZPN(Q):H(x)B}.N_Z(B)=\#\{x\in Z\cap\mathbb{P}^N(\mathbb{Q}):H(x)\leq B\}.

Browning–Heath-Brown–Salberger's conjecture. For every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

NZ(B)=Od,ε,N(Bm+ε).N_Z(B)=O_{d,\varepsilon,N}(B^{m+\varepsilon}).

This generalizes the hypersurface conjecture to arbitrary integral projective varieties and predicts a uniform bound of essentially the dimension-sized exponent. The paper formulates it as an extension of the preceding conjecture; its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
