Multi-height distribution of rational points of split toric stacks

Abstract

We study the distribution of rational points of split toric stacks with all heights bounded over Q\mathbf{Q} by lifting the counting problem to an extended universal torsor under the torus associated with the orbifold Picard group. To achieve this, we prove the existence of an integral parametrization of rational points on toric stacks, which allows us to define a lift of the stacky height to this extended universal torsor. This allows us to define the Tamagawa number of a toric stack XX as an Euler product and, for a prime number pp, to interpret the pp-adic factor via a mass formula counting Fp\mathbf{F}_p-points of the sectors of XX.

Comments

The previous version contained errors in the computation of the type of the torsor arising from the usual quotient presentation of toric stacks and in the computation of the leading constant. These have now been corrected. The previous version only treated the torsion-free Picard group case, while the present version treats the general case
