We establish estimates for the number of solutions of certain affine congruences. These estimates are then used to prove Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface split over Q whose singularity type is D-4. This improves on a result of Browning and answers a ...
For Banach spaces X and Y, we consider bifurcation from the line of trivial solutions for the equation F(lambda, u) = 0, where F : R x X -> Y with F(lambda, 0) = 0 for all lambda is an element of R. The focus is on the situation where F(lambda, center dot) ...
