Swinnerton-Dyer's refined error-term conjecture for del Pezzo surfaces

About 21 years old · traced to

Let S⊆PdS\subseteq\mathbb{P}^d be a possibly singular del Pezzo surface, let U⊆SU\subseteq S be obtained by deleting exceptional divisors, and let ρS\rho_S be the relevant Picard rank. Let NU,H(B)N_{U,H}(B) count rational points of height at most BB. Swinnerton-Dyer's refined error-term conjecture. There exist positive constants θ1,θ2,θ3<1\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3<1 with θ1<min⁡{θ2,θ3}\theta_1<\min\{\theta_2,\theta_3\}, a polynomial f∈R[x]f\in\mathbb{R}[x] of degree ρS−1\rho_S-1, a constant γ∈R\gamma\in\mathbb{R}, and a sequence (γn)⊂C(\gamma_n)\subset\mathbb{C} such that, for every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

NU,H(B)=Bf(log⁡B)+γBθ3+Re⁡∑nγnBθ2+itn+Oε(Bθ1+ε).N_{U,H}(B)=Bf(\log B)+\gamma B^{\theta_3}+\operatorname{Re}\sum_n\gamma_n B^{\theta_2+it_n}+O_\varepsilon(B^{\theta_1+\varepsilon}).

Here 12+itn\frac12+it_n runs through a set of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, with positive, monotonically increasing tnt_n, and ∑n∣γn∣2\sum_n|\gamma_n|^2 and ∑ntn−2\sum_n t_n^{-2} convergent. The conjecture seeks a much sharper description of the error term, including oscillations arising from zeta zeros; it is presented as an open question inspired by explicit formulae in prime number theory.
