Torsors for finite group schemes of bounded height

Abstract

Let FF be a global field. Let GG be a non trivial finite \'etale tame FF-group scheme. We define height functions on the set of GG-torsors over F,F, which generalize the usual heights such as discriminant. As an analogue of the Malle conjecture for group schemes, we formulate a conjecture on the asymptotic behavior of the number of GG-torsors over FF of bounded height. This is a special case of our more general Stacky Batyrev-Manin conjecture from arXiv:2207.03645. The conjectured asymptotic is proven for the case GG is commutative. When FF is a number field, the leading constant is expressed as a product of certain arithmetic invariants of GG and a volume of a space attached to GG. Moreover, an equidistribution property of GG-torsors in the space is established.
