Rational points on smooth cubic hypersurfaces

Let S be a smooth n-dimensional cubic variety over a field K and suppose that K is finitely generated over its prime subfield. It is a well-known fact that whenever we have a set of K-points on S, we may obtain new ones, using secant and tangent constructions. A Mordell-Weil generating set B ⊆ S(K)...
