Uniform bounds for the number of rational points on varieties over global fields

Abstract

We extend the work of Salberger; Walsh; Castryck, Cluckers, Dittmann and Nguyen; and Vermeulen to prove the uniform dimension growth conjecture of Heath-Brown and Serre for varieties of degree at least $4$ over global fields. As an intermediate step, we generalize the bounds of Bombieri and Pila to curves over global fields and in doing so we improve the $B^{𝜀}$ factor by a $\text{log}(B)$ factor.
