Manin's conjecture vs. Malle's conjecture

Number Theory 2015-05-19 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

By a heuristic argument, we relate two conjectures. One is a version of Manin's conjecture about the distribution of rational points on a Fano variety. We concern specific singular Fano varieties, namely quotients of projective spaces by finite group actions, and their singularities play a key role. The other conjecture is a generalization of Malle's conjecture about the distribution of extensions of a number field. Main tools are several Dirichlet series and previously obtained techniques, especially the untwisting, for the counterpart over a local field.
