Abstract

We prove the Batyrev-Manin conjecture for smooth equivariant compactifications of forms of Gan\mathbb{G}_a^n over a global function field FF, assuming some conditions on the boundary divisor. To verify that the leading constant agrees with Peyre's predicition we also show that a commutative unipotent group admitting a smooth equivariant compactification satisfies the Hasse principle for algebraic groups and weak approximation. We study in detail the case of Pp1\mathbb{P}^{p-1}, where pp is the characteristic of FF, viewed as a compactification of appropriate FF-wound groups to illustrate new phenomena appearing in the function field setting.
