Abstract

In order to study integral points of bounded log-anticanonical height on weak del Pezzo surfaces, we classify weak del Pezzo pairs. As a representative example, we consider a quartic del Pezzo surface of singularity type $\mathbf {A}_1+\mathbf {A}_3$ and prove an analogue of Manin’s conjecture for integral points with respect to its singularities and its lines.

Figure 1 The Clemens complex of $D_3$ is the disjoint union of those of $D_1$ (left) and $D_2$ (right). It is the Dynkin diagram of the $\mathbf {A}_1$- and $\mathbf {A}_3$-singularities $Q_1,Q_2$.

Figure 1

Figure 2 Integral points on $\widetilde {\mathcal {U}}_1$ of height $\le 90$. The boundary divisor is the central vertical line. Some horizontal and diagonal lines look accumulating, but in fact are not: They contain $\sim c^\prime B$ points, which is less than the $c B(\log B)^5$ points on U; the constants $c^\prime $ can however be up to $2$, while the constant c in our main theorem is numerically $\approx 0.0003$.

Figure 3 Integral points on $\widetilde {\mathcal {U}}_2$ of height $\le 60$ in neighborhoods of $D_{A_1}$ (left) and $D_{A_2}$ (right). Most points are close to the three boundary divisors, which are the central horizontal line and two vertical lines here.
