Pila, Jonathan

Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 60 (2010) no. 2, pp. 489-514.

Nous étudions la répartition des points rationnels sur une certaine surface exponentielle-algébrique et prouvons, pour cette surface, une conjecture de A. J. Wilkie.

We study the distribution of rational points on a certain exponential-algebraic surface and we prove, for this surface, a conjecture of A. J. Wilkie.
