Exceptional-set description in Manin's conjecture for Fano varieties

Let XX be a smooth projective geometrically integral Fano variety over a number field, and set L=KXL=-K_X. For a thin map f:YXf:Y\to X from a smooth projective geometrically integral variety YY, let aa and bb be the corresponding invariants and let κ\kappa denote Kodaira dimension. Manin's exceptional-set conjecture. Let ZZ be the union of f(Y(F))f(Y(F)) over all such thin maps satisfying

(a(X,L),b(F,X,L))(a(Y,fL),b(F,Y,fL))(a(X,L),b(F,X,L))\leq(a(Y,f^*L),b(F,Y,f^*L))

and one of: dim(Y)<dim(X)\dim(Y)<\dim(X); dim(Y)=dim(X)\dim(Y)=\dim(X) and κ(KY+a(Y,fL)fL)>0\kappa(K_Y+a(Y,f^*L)f^*L)>0; or dim(Y)=dim(X)\dim(Y)=\dim(X), κ(KY+a(Y,fL)fL)=0\kappa(K_Y+a(Y,f^*L)f^*L)=0, and ff is face contracting. Then ZZ coincides with the exceptional set in Manin's conjecture for XX with anticanonical polarization. This refines the expected exceptional set by including precisely the thin-map contributions that can obstruct the predicted asymptotic.
