Equidistribution of values of linear forms on a cubic hypersurface

Abstract: Let

C

be a cubic form with rational coefficients in

n

variables, and let

h

be the

h

-invariant of

C

. Let

L_{1}, l d o t s, L_{r}

be linear forms with real coefficients such that if

then

is not a rational form. Assume that

h > 16 + 8 r

. Let

, and let

e t a

be a positive real number. We prove an asymptotic formula for the weighted number of integer solutions

m a t h b f x i n [- P, P]^{n}

to the system

. If the coefficients of the linear forms are algebraically independent over the rationals, then we may replace the

h

-invariant condition with the hypothesis

n > 16 + 9 r

, and show that the system has an integer solution. Finally, we show that the values of

m a t h b f L

at integer zeros of

C

are equidistributed modulo one in

m a t h b b R^{r}

, requiring only that

h > 16

.
