ABSTRACT
We establish upper bounds for the number of rational points of bounded height on complete intersections. When the degree of the intersection is sufficiently large in terms of its dimension, and the contribution arising from appropriate linear spaces is removed, these bounds are smaller than those arising from the expectation of â€˜square-root cancellationâ€™. In particular, there is a paucity of non-diagonal solutions to the equation , provided that d â‰¥ (2s)4s. There are consequences for the approximate distribution function of Weyl sums of higher degree, and also for quasi-diagonal behaviour in mean values of smooth Weyl sums.

For a stationary Poisson-Voronoi tessellation in Euclidean d-space and for $${k\in \{1,\dots,d\}}$$, we consider the typical k-dimensional face with respect to a natural centre function. We express the distribution of this typical k-face in terms of a certain Poisson process of closed halfspaces...

We have discussed some statistical properties for such state, especially the quadrature variances as...
