On Manin's conjecture for a certain singular cubic surface
arXiv:math/0509370
Abstract
Let U denote the open subset formed by deleting the unique line from the singular cubic surface x_1x_2^2+x_2x_0^2+x_3^3=0. In this paper an asymptotic formula is obtained for the number of rational points on U of bounded height, which thereby verifies the Manin conjecture for this particular surface.
