In a paper from 1994, 'The density of rational points on non-singular hypersurfaces', Heath-Brown developed a `multi-dimensional q-analogue'
of van der Corput's method of exponential sums, giving good bounds for the density of solutions to Diophantine equations in many variables. I will discuss this method and present some generalizations.
