Multi-height analysis of rational points of toric stacks
Nicolas Bongiorno
TL;DR
The paper extends the multi-height program for rational points from toric varieties to toric DM stacks by developing a universal stacky-torsor framework. It constructs and lifts the age pairing to universal torsors, defines an orbifold Picard group and its cone of effective divisors, and introduces a refined residue map via twisted sectors to control lifting obstructions. A counting formula is proved for toric stacks with torsion-free Picard, expressing the asymptotic with a Tamagawa-type orbifold measure and linking it to the extended universal torsor parametrization. The work also provides explicit parametrizations and local-height definitions in the extended torsor setting, enabling a coherent arithmetic of rational points on toric stacks and offering tools for future Manin-type conjectures in the orbifold context.
Abstract
We study the multi-height distribution of rational points of toric stacks over $\mathbf{Q}$ using the lift of the number of points to an extended universal torsor.
