Abstract

We study almost prime solutions of systems of Diophantine equations in the Birch setting. Previous work shows that there exist integer solutions of size B with each component having no prime divisors below B 1/u , where u equals c0n 3/2 , n is the number of variables and c0 is a constant depending on the degree and the number of equations. We improve the polynomial growth n 3/2 to the logarithmic (log n)(log log n) −1 . Our main new ingredients are the generalization of the Brudern–Fouvry vector sieve in any dimension and the incorporation of smooth ¨ weights into the Davenport–Birch version of the circle method.
