Abstract
Let X/Q be a smooth cubic hypersurface of dimension n ≥ 1.
It is well-known that new rational points may be obtained from old ones by secant and tangent constructions. In view of the Mordell–Weil theorem for n = 1, Manin (1968) asked if there exists a finite set S from which all other rational points can be thus obtained. We give an affirmative answer for n ≥ 48, showing in fact that we can take the generating set S to consist of just one point. Our proof makes use of a weak approximation theorem due to Skinner, a theorem of Browning, Dietmann and Heath-Brown on the existence of rational points on the intersection of a quadric and cubic in large dimension, and some elementary ideas from differential geometry, algebraic geometry and numerical analysis.
