Bhargava's local specification density conjecture for SnS_n-number fields

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer, and let Σ=(Σ2,Σ3,Σ5,)\Sigma=(\Sigma_2,\Sigma_3,\Sigma_5,\ldots) be an acceptable collection of local specifications, where each Σp\Sigma_p is a set of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p-algebras. For a local algebra FpF_p, write Disc(Fp)\operatorname{Disc}(F_p) for its discriminant and AutQp(Fp)\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}(F_p) for its automorphism group. Bhargava's conjecture. As FF varies over SnS_n-number fields with fixed signature (r1,r2)(r_1,r_2) ordered by absolute discriminant,

Prob(FFQQpΣp)=p1c(n,p)(FpΣp1Disc(Fp)1#AutQp(Fp)).\operatorname{Prob}(F\mid F\otimes_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathbb{Q}_p\in\Sigma_p)=\prod_p\frac{1}{c(n,p)}\left(\sum_{F_p\in\Sigma_p}\frac{1}{\operatorname{Disc}(F_p)}\cdot\frac{1}{\#\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}(F_p)}\right).

This predicts independence of local specifications with the mass prescribed by discriminants and automorphism groups; it is proved for SnS_n-fields of degree n5n\leq5, while the general case remains open.
