Abstract
Let be a proper homogeneous space for a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. For locally closed smooth affine subvarieties , we show that for generic . This extends the characteristic-zero theorem of Sch\"urmann--Simpson--Wang. Over finite fields, our methods give a trace-function identity on a dense open subset of and a Lang--Weil estimate for the non-generic locus.
