Manin's conjecture for quintic del Pezzo surfaces with a conic bundle structure
D. R. Heath-Brown, Daniel Loughran
We investigate Manin's conjecture for del Pezzo surfaces of degree five with a conic bundle structure, proving matching upper and lower bounds, and the full conjecture in the Galoi…

Bounds for the Quartic Weyl Sum
D. R. Heath-Brown
We improve the standard Weyl estimate for quartic exponential sums in which the argument is a quadratic irrational. Specifically we show that \[\sum_{n\le N} e(αn^4)\ll_{\ep,α}N^{5…
