Formulation
By definition, if C is a category in which morphisms are isomorphisms, the number of points in is denoted by
with the sum running over objects p. (The series may diverge in general.) The formula states: for a smooth algebraic stack X over the finite field and the "arithmetic" Frobenius (i.e., the inverse of the Frobenius in Grothendieck's formula),
The Siegel mass formula computes the left-hand side:[1] if G is a semisimple group with tamagawa number ,
