Abstract: We give a variant of Weyl's inequality for systems of forms together with applications. First we use this to give a different formulation of a theorem of B. J. Birch on forms in many variables. More precisely, we show that the dimension of the locus V^* introduced in this work can be replaced by the maximal dimension of the singular loci of forms in the linear system of the given forms. In some cases this improves on the aforementioned theorem of Birch. We say that a system of forms is a Hardy-Littlewood system if the number of integer points on the corresponding variety restricted to a box satisfies the asymptotic behaviour predicted by the classical circle method. As a second application, we improve on a theorem of W. M. Schmidt which states that a system of homogeneous forms of same degree is a Hardy-Littlewood system as soon as the so called $h$-invariant of the system is sufficiently large. In this direction we generalise previous improvements of R. Dietmann on systems of quadratic and cubic forms to systems of forms of general degree.
