Geometric Batyrev-Manin-Peyre for equivariant compactifications of additive groups (Q6132679)

In this paper, the author the studies the case of compactifications of vector spaces. More precisely, the author studies the asymptotic behavior of the moduli space of sections of a family over a projective curve whose generic fibre is a compactification of a power of the additive group. One can attach to such a section a class in the dual of the Picard group of the generic fibre, called the multidegree of the section, and consider the class of the moduli space of sections of a given multidegree in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. Working in a suitable Grothendieck ring of varieties, in the main result of the paper the author shows that the class of these moduli spaces converges, modulo an adequate normalisation, to a non-zero effective element, when the class of the sections goes arbitrary far from the boundary of the dual of the effective cone. The limit can be interpreted as a motivic Euler product in the sense of Bilu's thesis. This result provides a positive answer to a motivic version of the Batyrev-Manin-Peyre conjectures in this particular setting.
