The distribution of -integral points on -orbit closures of binary forms
arXiv:1403.7219 · doi:10.1112/jlms/jdv048
Abstract
We study the distribution of -integral points on -orbit closures of binary forms and prove an asymptotic formula for the number of -integral points of bounded height on -orbit closures of binary forms. This extends a result of Duke, Rudnick, and Sarnak. The main ingredients of the proof are the method of mixing developed by Eskin-McMullen and Benoist-Oh, Chambert-Loir-Tschinkel's study of asymptotic volume of height balls, and Hassett-Tschinkel's description of log resolutions of -orbit closures of binary forms.
