Manin's conjecture for a quartic del Pezzo surface with \(A_{4}\) singularity (Q2390097)

The surface \[ S: x_0x_1- x_2x_3= x_0x_4+ x_1x_2+ x^2_3= 0 \] in \(\mathbb{P}^4\) is a singular del Pezzo surface of degree 4, containing a unique singularity of type \({\mathbf A}_4\) and exactly three lines: \[ x_0= x_1= x_3= 0,\quad x_0= x_2= x_3= 0,\quad x_1= x_4= x_3= 0. \] Let \(U\) be the Zariski open subset of \(S\) formed by deleting those lines and let \[ N(B):= \#\{\vec a\mid\vec a\in U(\mathbb{Q}),\;h(\vec a)\leq B\}, \] where \(\vec a:= (a_0,\dots, a_4)\) and \(h\) is the usual height on \(\mathbb{P}^4(\mathbb{Q})\), that is \[ h(\vec a)= \max_{0\leq i\leq 4}|a_i| \] for \(\vec a\in\mathbb{Z}^5\) with h.c.f. \((a_0,\dots, a_4)= 1\). The authors prove that \[ N(B)= c_0B(\log B)^5(1+ O((\log B)^{-2/7}) \] as \(B\to\infty\), in accordance with Manin's conjecture predicting that \(N(B)\sim cB(\log B)^5\) for some positive constant \(c\); moreover, the authors' constant co coincides with the one predicted by \textit{E. Peyre} [Duke Math. J. 79, No. 1, 101--218 (1995; Zbl 0901.14025)].
