Multiple mixing for adele groups and rational points (Q888769)

Quoted from the authors introduction: ``Let \(X\subset\mathbb{P}^n\) be a smooth projective variety over a number field \(F\). Fix a height function \[ H: \mathbb{P}^n(F)\to \mathbb{R}_{>0} \] and consider the counting function \[ N(X,T)= \{x\in X(F)\mid H(x)\leq T\} \] Manin's conjecture and its refinements predict asymptotic formulas for \(N(X^0,T)\), as \(T\to\infty\), where \(X^0\subset X\) is an appropriate Zariski open subset of an algebraic variety with sufficiently positive anticanonical class. Of particular importance are equivariant compactification of algebraic groups and their homogenous spaces. In all equivariance cases considered previously, it was essential that \(X\) admits an action, with a dense orbit, of a solvable algebraic group. In this paper, we establish these conjectures for a new class of varieties, which includes nonspherical varieties under a technical assumption on automorphic characters.'' The explicit result is the following: ``Let \(H\) be a connected simple algebraic group defined over a number field \(F\), \(G=H^n\) its \(n\)-fold product. Let \(X\) be a smooth projective \(G\)-equivariant compactification of \(X^0:= H\setminus G\), where \(H\) acts on the left diagonally, with boundary \(X\setminus X^0\) a divisor with strict normal crossings. Under this technical assumption (on automorphic characters) \(X\) satisfies Manin's conjecture and its refinements.'' (Note: The polarization which gives the rise to the embedding of \(X\) into \(\mathbb{P}^n\), is the anticanonical class \(-K_X\).)
