Counting rational points on hypersurfaces

(Un exposé de Roger Heath-Brown au séminaire de théorie des nombres de Chevaleret le 24 mai 2004)

Résumé :

  For an irreducible algebraic projective hypersurface of dimension $N$ and degree at least $2$ it may be conjectured that there are $O(B^{N+\varepsilon})$ rational points of height at most $B$, for any $\varepsilon>0$. The talk will look at the evidence for this conjecture, and at progress towards it.
