Modern formulation of Manin's conjecture
Modern formulation of Manin's conjecture
Let be a geometrically integral smooth projective Fano variety over of dimension with Picard rank , let be a proper integral model over , and let be an anticanonical height on . A map of geometrically integral smooth projective varieties is thin if it is generically finite onto its image and has degree different from . Define the Tamagawa measure and the constants
where is the natural measure on defined by at non-Archimedean places and by the fixed volume form at , and
Manin's conjecture. There exists a finite set of thin maps such that
where the weak limit is taken as measures on , is the unit point mass at , and is the restriction of the Tamagawa measure to the locus where the Brauer–Manin obstruction vanishes. This formulation predicts both the asymptotic number and adelic distribution of rational points after removing finitely many thin images; the source attributes it to work of Manin, Peyre, Batyrev–Tschinkel and Salberger, but the statement itself is marked with no resolution status.
