Rational points on a subanalytic surface
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 55 (2005) no. 5, pp. 1501-1516.

Let X n be a compact subanalytic surface. This paper shows that, in a suitable sense, there are very few rational points of X that do not lie on some connected semialgebraic curve contained in X.

Soit X n une surface sous-analytique compacte. Cet article démontre qu’en un sens convenable, il y a très peu de points rationnels de X qui ne se trouvent pas sur une courbe semi-algébrique connexe contenue dans X.
