We prove equidistribution of a generic net of small points in a projective variety X over a function field K. For an algebraic dynamical system over K, we generalize this equidistribution theorem to a small generic net of subvarieties. For number fields, these results were proved by Yuan and we transfer here his methods to function fields. If X is a closed subvariety of an abelian variety, then we can describe the equidistribution measure explicitly in terms of convex geometry.
In this article, we introduce the notion of global adelic space of an arithmetic variety over an adelic curve and prove an equidistribution theorem for a generic sequence of subvarieties. As an application, we prove a Bogomolov type theorem for Abelian varieties over an adelic curve of characteristic 0.
Problems of (i) precise (exact) bound for families of hyperelliptic curves over prime finite fields and (ii) equidistribution of angles of Kloosterman sums are discussed.
We prove equidistribution of Weierstrass points on Berkovich curves. Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve of positive genus over a complete algebraically closed non-Archimedean field $K$ of equal characteristic zero with a non-trivial valuation. Let $L$ be a line bundle of positive degree on $X$. The Weierstrass points of powers of $L$ are equidistributed according to the Zhang-Arakelov measure on the analytification $X^{an}$. This provides a non-Archimedean analogue of a theorem of Mumford and Neeman. Along the way we provide a description of the reduction of Weierstrass points, answering a quest…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an algebraically closed, complete, non-archimedean field $K$, and let ${\mathsf E}$ denote the Berkovich analytic space associated to $E/K$. We study the $μ$-equidistribution of finite subsets of $E(K)$, where $μ$ is a certain canonical unit Borel measure on ${\mathsf E}$. Our main result is an inequality bounding the error term when testing against a certain class of continuous functions on ${\mathsf E}$. We then give two applications to elliptic curves over global function fields: we prove a function field analogue of the Szpiro-Ullmo-Zhang equidistribution …
We prove the equidistribution of the Hodge locus for certain non-isotrivial, polarized variations of Hodge structure of weight $2$ with $h^{2,0}=1$ over complex, quasi-projective curves. Given some norm condition, we also give an asymptotic on the growth of the Hodge locus. In particular, this implies the equidistribution of elliptic fibrations in quasi-polarized, non-isotrivial families of $K3$ surfaces.
In the present article, we define a notion of good height functions on quasi-projective varieties $V$ defined over number fields and prove an equidistribution theorem of small points for such height functions. Those good height functions are defined as limits of height functions associated with semi-positive adelic metrization on big and nef $\mathbb{Q}$-line bundles on projective models of $V$ satisfying mild assumptions. Building on a recent work of the author and Vigny as well as on a classical estimate of Call and Silverman, and inspiring from recent works of Kühne and Yuan and Zhang, we d…
We prove that the local height of a point on a Drinfeld module can be computed by averaging the logarithm of the distance to that point over the torsion points of the module. This gives rise to a Drinfeld module analog of a weak version of Siegel's integral points theorem over number fields and to an analog of a theorem of Schinzel's regarding the order of a point modulo certain primes.
We study various families of Artin $L$-functions attached to geometric parametrizations of number fields. In each case we find the Sato-Tate measure of the family and determine the symmetry type of the distribution of the low-lying zeros.
In this expository note, we present an approach to the generalization of Serre of the Sato-Tate Conjecture. Most of its content is taken from Serre's original references. However, we provide a few new examples and supply references to recent progress developed in the area.
Let X be a projective integral normal scheme over a number field F; let L be a ample line bundle on X together with a semi-positive adelic metric in the sense of Zhang. The main results of this article are 1) A formula which computes the height (relative to L) of a Cartier divisor D on X as generalized "Mahler measures", i.e. by integrating Green functions for D against measures attached to L. 2) a theorem of equidistribution of points of "small" height valid for functions with logarithmic singularities along a divisor D, provided the height of D is "minimal". In the context of algebraic dynam…
In this paper we prove a sparse equidistribution theorem for Gross points over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We apply this result to study the reduction map from CM Drinfeld modules to supersingular Drinfeld modules. Our proofs rely crucially on a period formula due to M. Papikian and F.-T. Wei/J. Yu, and a Lindelöf-type bound for central values of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions associated to twists of automorphic forms of Drinfeld-type by ideal class group characters.
Averaging over imaginary quadratic fields, we prove, quantitatively, the equidistribution of CM points associated to 3-torsion classes in the class group. We conjecture that this equidistribution holds for points associated to ideals of any fixed odd order. We prove a partial equidistribution result in this direction and present empirical evidence.
The embedding of a torus into an inner form of PGL(2) defines an adelic toric period. A general version of Duke's theorem states that this period equidistributes as the discriminant of the splitting field tends to infinity. In this paper we consider a torus embedded diagonally into two distinct inner forms of PGL(2). Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (and some additional technical assumptions), we show simultaneous equidistribution as the discriminant tends to infinity, with an effective logarithmic rate. Our proof is based on a probabilistic approach to estimating fractional moments…
Katz showed that the L-functions of all Dirichlet characters of F_q(t), with conductor a fixed power of a degree one prime, are equidistributed in the limit as q goes to infinity. We generalize this statement to the L-functions of twists of an arbitrary Galois representation by Dirichlet characters, including independence of the L-functions of twists of different representations by the same Dirichlet character. A similar generalization, without the independence statement, for characters with squarefree conductor, was proven by Hall, Keating, and Roditty-Gershon.
We develop the relationship between quaternionic hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic counting or equidistribution applications, that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension $2$. We prove a Mertens counting formula for the rational points over a definite quaternion algebra $A$ over $\mathbb Q$ in the light cone of quaternionic Hermitian forms, as well as a Neville equidistribution theorem of the set of rational points over $A$ in quaternionic Heisenberg groups.
We strongly develop the relationship between complex hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic counting or equidistribution applications, that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on complex hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension $2$. We prove a Mertens' formula for the integer points over a quadratic imaginary number fields $K$ in the light cone of Hermitian forms, as well as an equidistribution theorem of the set of rational points over $K$ in Heisenberg groups. We give a counting formula for the cubic points over $K$ in the complex projective plane whose Galois conjugates are orthogonal…
We prove an equidistribution statement for the Satake parameters of the local representations attached to Siegel cusp forms of degree $2$ of increasing level and weight, counted with a certain arithmetic weight. We then apply this to compute the symmetry type of a similarly weighted distribution of the low-lying zeros of $L$-functions attached to these cusp forms.
We prove a Hilbert-Samuel type result of arithmetic big line bundles in Arakelov geometry, which is an analogue of a classical theorem of Siu. An application of this result gives equidistribution of small points over algebraic dynamical systems, following the work of Szpiro-Ullmo-Zhang. We also generalize Chambert-Loir's non-archimedean equidistribution.
We investigate the equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms on sets that are shrinking towards infinity. We show that at scales finer than the Planck scale they do not equidistribute while at scales more coarse than the Planck scale they equidistribute on a full density subsequence of eigenforms. On a suitable set of test functions we compute the variance showing interesting transition behavior at half the Planck scale.
We study the Dyson rank function $N(r,t;n)$, the number of partitions with rank congruent to $r$ modulo $t$. We first show that it is monotonic in $n$, and then show that it equidistributed as $n \rightarrow \infty$. Using this result we prove a conjecture of Hou and Jagadeeson on the convexity of $N(r,t;n)$.
We extend Holowinsky and Soundararajan's proof of quantum unique ergodicity for holomorphic Hecke modular forms on SL(2,Z), by establishing it for automorphic forms of cohomological type on GL_2 over an arbitrary number field which satisfy the Ramanujan bounds. In particular, we have uncondtional theorems over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields. In the totally real case we show that our result implies the equidistribution of the zero divisors of holomorphic Hecke modular forms, generalising a result of Rudnick over Q.

We study the dynamics of stochastic families of rational maps on the projective line. As such families can be infinite and may not typically be defined over a single number field, we introduce the concept of generalized adelic measures, generalizing previous notions introduced by Favre and Rivera-Letelier and Mavraki and Ye. Generalized adelic measures are defined over the measure space of places of an algebraic closure of the rationals, using a framework established by Allcock and Vaaler. This turns our heights from sums over places into integrals. We prove an equidistribution result for gene…
We study the distribution, in the space of Satake parameters, of local components of Siegel cusp forms of genus 2 and growing weight, subject to a specific weighting which allows us to apply results concerning Bessel models and a variant of Petersson's formula. We obtain for this family a quantitative local equidistribution result, and derive a number of consequences. In particular, we show that the computation of the density of low-lying zeros of the spinor L-functions (for restricted test functions) gives global evidence for a well-known conjecture of Böcherer concerning the arithmetic natur…
Let K be a global field of characteristic not 2. Let Z be a symmetric variety defined over K and S a finite set of places of K. We obtain counting and equidistribution results for the S-integral points of Z. Our results are effective when K is a number field.
We introduce the notion of an adelically summable normalized weight $g$, which is a family of normalized weights on the Berkovich projective lines satisfying a summability condition. We then establish an adelic equidistribution of effective $k$-divisors on the projective line over the separable closure $k_s$ in $\overline{k}$ of a product formula field $k$ having small $g$-heights and small diagonals. This equidistribution result generalizes Ye's for the Galois conjugacy classes of algebraic numbers with respect to quasi-adelic measures.
In this paper, we prove the equidistribution of periodic points of a regular polynomial automorphism f : A^n -> A^n defined over a number field K: let f be a regular polynomial automorphism defined over a number field K and let v be a prime place. Then, there exists an f-invariant probability measure mu_{f,v}$ on Berkovich space of P^n(C_v) such that the set of periodic points of f is equidistributed with respect to mu_{f,v}. We will prove it by equidistribution of small points for strongly regular pair of polynomial maps.
We prove effective equidistribution theorems, with polynomial error rate, for orbits of the unipotent subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ in arithmetic quotients of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$ and $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)\times\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. The proof is based on the use of a Margulis function, tools from incidence geometry, and the spectral gap of the ambient space.
Let g be a nonconstant rational map from the projective line to itself that has degree greater than one and is defined over a number field. The map g gives rise to generalized Mahler measures for polynomials in one variable. We use diophantine approximation to show that the generalized Mahler measure of a polynomial F at a place v can be computed by averaging the log of the v-adic absolute value of F over the periodic points of g. This allows us to compute canonical heights of algebraic points via equidistribution on periodic points.
Let U:=L\G be a homogeneous variety defined over a number field K, where G is a connected semisimple K-group and L is a connected maximal semisimple K-subgroup of G with finite index in its normalizer. Assuming that G(K_v) acts transitively on U(K_v) for almost all places v of K, we obtain the asymptotic of the number of rational points in U(K) with height bounded by T, and settle new cases of Manin's conjecture for many wonderful varieties. The main ingredient of our approach is the equidistribution of semisimple adelic periods, which is established using the theory of unipotent flows.
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ without complex multiplication. If $Γ\subset E(\overline{K})$ is a subgroup of finite rank, a very special case of a conjecture of Rémond predicts that points of small height in $E(K(Γ))$ lie in the division group of $Γ$. Using an equidistribution argument, we will show that this conjecture is true for groups of rank arbitrarily large.
