On cubic polynomials III. Systems ofp-adic equations

We study systems of equations $$\mathfrak{F}_1 = \ldots = \mathfrak{F}_r = 0,$$ where \(\mathfrak{F}_1 , \ldots ,\mathfrak{F}_r \) are cubic forms withp-adic coefficients. Such a system has a nontrivialp-adic solution if the number of variables is at least 50,000 ·r ³. Further we will give estimates for the number of solutions of certain systems of cubic congruences.
