Abstract: Let $KsubseteqmathbbR$ be a number field. Using techniques of discrete analysis, we prove that for definable sets $X$ in $mathbb{R}_{exp}$ of dimension at most $2$ a conjecture of Wilkie about the density of rational points is equivalent to the fact that $X$ is badly distributed at the level of residue classes for many primes of $K$. This provides a new strategy to prove this conjecture of Wilkie. In order to prove this result, we are lead to study an inverse problem as in the works cite{Walsh2, Walsh}, but in the context of number fields, or more generally global fields. Specifically, we prove that if $K$ is a global field, then every subset $Ssubseteqmathbb{P}^n(K)$ consisting of rational points of projective height bounded by $N$, occupying few residue classes modulo $mathfrakp$ for many primes $mathfrakp$ of $K$, must essentially lie in the solution set of a polynomial equation of degree $ll(log(N){)}^C$, for some constant $C$.
