Mazur's algebraic equidistribution conjecture for Hecke orbits
Mazur's algebraic equidistribution conjecture for Hecke orbits
Let be the Shimura variety under consideration, and let be a positive-dimensional subvariety intersecting the ordinary locus. The Hecke orbit of is said to equidistribute when, for every sequence of prime-to- Hecke correspondences with , the minimal degree of a hypersurface containing tends to infinity. Mazur's algebraic equidistribution conjecture. If is a positive-dimensional subvariety that intersects the ordinary locus, then the Hecke orbit of equidistributes. This is an algebraic positive-characteristic analogue of the equidistribution of Hecke orbits used in the characteristic-zero André–Pink–Zannier argument; the source presents it as a reasonable conjecture because no general positive-characteristic analogue of that analytic equidistribution is known.
