6 Heights Classically, the Height of a rational number is defined as H(x) = max( a, b ), x = a/b, a, b Z, gcd(a, b) = 1. It is some measure of its arithmetic complexity. More generally, one defines the Height of a point x P n (Q) by H(x) = max( x 0,..., x n ) where x = [x 0 : : x n ] for coprime integers x 0,..., x n. Let F be a number field and M F a complete set of normalized absolute values on F. One defines the Height of a point x = [x 0 : : x n ] P n (F) by H F (x) = max( x 0 v,..., x n v ). v M F By the product formula, this is independent from the choice of homogeneous coordinates.

14 Manin s proposal Manin proposed a geometric interpretation which involves the geometry of the effective cone of the Néron-Severi group of X, and of the classes of L and K 1. For example, when L = K 1, he suggest that X X one has s = 1 and t = rank(ns(x)) 1. Peyre refined this interpretation by interpreting the constant c as the volume of the adelic space X(A F ) for some Tamagawa measure. Necessary precautions: One generally assumes that X(F) is Zariski dense; It may be necessary to replace the ground field by a finite extension; It may be necessary to restrict the counting problem to a dense open subset.

16 Theorems... Manin Peyre s expectation has been verified in a number of situations: Hypersurfaces of small degree compared to the dimension (circle method); Flag varieties and their generalizations (Franke Manin Tschinkel, using Langlands s theorems on Eisenstein series); Equivariant compactifications of some algebraic groups: tori (Batyrev Tschinkel), vector spaces (Chambert-Loir Tschinkel), simply connected semi-simple groups (Shalika Takloo-Bighash Tschinkel, Gorodnik Maucourant Oh), Heisenberg groups (Shalika Tschinkel)... Del Pezzo surfaces (de la Bretèche, Browning, Derenthal, Le Boudec...). The list is still growing. Introduction. Heights in number theory p. 8

17 ... and counterexamples There are also counterexamples which show that it is sometimes necessary to avoid a thin subset. Total space of the universal family of diagonal cubic surfaces (Batyrev Tschinkel); The Hilbert space of two points on P 2 or P 1 P 1 (Schmidt, Le Rudulier). These counterexamples affect the finer aspects of the conjectural asymptotic expansion N(B) cb s log(b) t, namely the parameter t and the constant c, but not (not yet?) the parameter s. Introduction.

18 Geometric heights Let C be a projective curve over a field k and let F = k(c). Then there is a correspondence: arithmetic over F projective space P n F point x P n (F) height h(x) = log(h(x)) geometry over C (trivial) fibration P n k C C morphism σ x : C P n k degree deg(σx O(1)) polarized variety (X, L)/F polarized fibration (X C, L) point x X(F) section σ x : C X height h(x) degree deg(σx L) In the geometric context, Northcott s theorem becomes the statement that sections σ of given degree d form a algebraic variety M d over k. It is then natural to follow Peyre s suggestion (around 2000) to investigate how these varieties M d vary with d. Introduction. Geometric height zeta functions p. 10

28 Motivic measures One grasps properties of the Grothendieck ring KVar k thanks to motivic measures which are functions µ from Var k to a ring A such that µ(x) = µ(y) if X and Y are isomorphic; µ(x) = µ(y) + µ(x Y) if Y is a closed subset of X; µ(x k Y) = µ(x)µ(y). Indeed these are exactly the ring morphisms from KVar k to A. One knows many interesting motivic measures: If k is finite, counting measure X #X(k); If k = C, Hodge-Deligne polynomial X E X (u, v); Cohomological realizations into various other Grothendieck groups (Hodge structures, l-adic representations, crystals...), and many other...

29 Example: The geometric Schanuel theorem Let us consider the case of X = P n C, polarized with L = O(1). For simplicity, we assume that C has a k-rational point a. Let M d be the space of morphisms σ : C P n such that k deg(σ O(1)) = d. The height zeta function for P n is the generating series Z(T) = [M d ]T d. d 0 Using results of Kapranov, Peyre has shown the motivic analogue of Schanuel s theorem: Z(T) is a rational power series; The power series (1 L n+1 T)Z(T) converges at T = L 1 in a suitable completion M of the localized Grothendieck ring KVar k [L 1 ]; When d, dim(m d ) (n + 1)d has a finite limit, and log(κ(m d ))/ log(d) converges to 0. Here, κ(m d ) is the number of irreducible components of M d of maximal dimension. Introduction. Grothendieck groups of varieties p. 14

30 Objects: the context The situation is as follows: Let C be an irreducible smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, let F = k(c). Let C 0 be a non-empty open subset of C. Let X be a proper smooth variety endowed with a non-constant morphism to C, let L be a line bundle on X, and let U be a Zariski open subset of X. Let X = X F, U = U F and L = L X be the corresponding objects on the generic fiber. One makes the following geometric assumptions: U is isomorphic to the affine space G = A n, viewed as an F algebraic group over F; X is a smooth equivariant compactification of G whose divisor at infinity D = X G has strict normal crossings; L = (K X + D).

32 Objects: the moduli spaces For every integer d Z, we consider the moduli space M d of sections σ : C X satisfying the following properties: deg(σ L) = d sections of geometric height d; σ(c 0 ) U. The second condition means that we consider a variant for integral points of the geometric Manin problem. For this reason, the relevant line bundle is the log-anticanonical line bundle. By general results on equivariant compactifications of affine spaces The space M d exists as a constructible set, and even as an algebraic variety over k if L is effective. In particular, it has a class [M d ] KVar k. M d is empty for d 0. Introduction. Statement of the theorem p. 16
