Batyrev–Tschinkel's prediction for constants in the anticanonical counting asymptotic

About 10 years old · traced to

Let XX be a Fano variety over \mathdsQ\mathds{Q} with at worst log terminal singularities and a Zariski dense set of rational points. Let H ⁣:X(\mathdsQ)→\mathdsR>0H\colon X(\mathds{Q}) \to \mathds{R}_{>0} be an anticanonical height function, let π ⁣:X~→X\pi\colon \widetilde{X} \to X be a desingularization, and set L≔π∗(−KX)L \coloneqq \pi^*(-K_X). Define

a≔inf⁡{t∈\mathdsR:t⋅L+KX~ is effective}\mathfrak{a}\coloneqq \inf\{t\in \mathds{R}: t \cdot L + K_{\widetilde{X}}\text{ is effective}\}

and let b\mathfrak{b} be the codimension of the minimal face of the effective cone of X~\widetilde{X} containing a⋅L+KX~\mathfrak{a} \cdot L + K_{\widetilde{X}}. Let ϕ ⁣:X⇢P\phi\colon X \dashrightarrow P be the L\mathcal{L}-primitive fibration associated with a⋅L+KX~\mathfrak{a} \cdot L + K_{\widetilde{X}}, and write cx\mathfrak{c}_x for the expected leading constant in the counting asymptotic on the fiber over x∈Px\in P. Batyrev--Tschinkel's prediction. Let H‾\overline{H} be a height on PP relative to the line bundle OP(−1)⊗ωP\mathcal{O}_P(-1) \otimes \omega_P. Then there exist positive constants c1,c2c_1,c_2 and an open subset V⊆PV \subseteq P such that for every x∈Vx \in V we have

c1H‾(x)≤cx≤c2H‾(x).c_1 \overline{H}(x) \le \mathfrak{c}_x \le c_2 \overline{H}(x).

This predicts that the leading constants in the fiberwise Manin asymptotics vary comparably to a height associated with OP(−1)⊗ωP\mathcal{O}_P(-1) \otimes \omega_P on a dense open subset of the base. The statement is attributed to Batyrev and Tschinkel and is presented as a prediction in the source; its resolution is not established here.
