The Batyrev–Manin conjecture for rational points of bounded height

Let VV be a smooth projective variety over a number field KK such that the canonical class KVK_V is non-effective. Endow V(K)V(K) with a height function coming from an adelic metrization on a big line bundle LL.

Batyrev–Manin conjecture. There exists an open subvariety UVU \subseteq V such that

NU,K(B)c(V)Balogb1B,N_{U,K}(B) \sim c(V) B^a \log^{b-1} B,

for explicit constants aa and bb depending on VV and the adelically metrized line bundle LL.

This conjecture predicts the order of growth of rational points of bounded height in terms of the geometry of the variety and the height line bundle. In the anticanonical case L=ωVL=\omega_V^\vee, the constant c(V)c(V) was predicted by Peyre.
