Browning–Heath-Brown conjecture on rational points of non-singular hypersurfaces

From papers

Let n3n\geqslant3, let FZ[X0,,Xn]F\in\mathbb{Z}[X_0,\ldots,X_n] be a non-singular form of degree d2d\geqslant2, and define

N(F;B)=#{xZn+1:F(x)=0, h.c.f.(x0,,xn)=1, xB}.N(F;B)=\#\{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{Z}^{n+1}:F(\mathbf{x})=0,\ \mathrm{h.c.f.}(x_0,\ldots,x_n)=1,\ |\mathbf{x}|\leqslant B\}.

For B1B\geqslant1, x=max0inxi|\mathbf{x}|=\max_{0\leqslant i\leqslant n}|x_i|. Browning–Heath-Brown conjecture. For every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

N(F;B)=Od,ε,n(Bn1+ε).N(F;B)=O_{d,\varepsilon,n}(B^{n-1+\varepsilon}).

This is presented as the paper's basic conjecture and is a special case of the stronger conjecture allowing FF to be merely absolutely irreducible; the source supplies no evidence of resolution.
