Abstract

Given an essentially atoral Laurent polynomial PP, we show an equidistribution theorem for the function logP\operatorname{log}|P| on specific subsets of Galois orbits of torsion points of the dd-dimensional algebraic torus Gmd(Q)\mathbb{G}^d_m(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}). The specific subsets under consideration are the preimages of dd-dimensional polytopes within the hypercube [0,1]d[0,1]^d under the cotropicalization map. This generalises an equidistribution theorem of V. Dimitrov and P. Habegger, who considered only all Galois orbits that correspond to the entire hypercube [0,1]d[0,1]^d. In addition, we provide an estimate for the convergence speed of this equidistribution, expressed as a negative power of the strictness degree. Our approach is to derive an alternative version of Koksma's inequality over polytopes. As an application, we provide the convergence speed of heights on a sequence of projective points for a specific two-dimensional example, answering a question posed by R. Gualdi and M. Sombra. In the appendix, we present an algorithm to compute the explicit value of the power of the strictness degree.
