Formulation

By definition, if C is a category in which morphisms are isomorphisms, the number of points in C is denoted by

#C=p1#Aut(p),

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 Fq and the "arithmetic" Frobenius f:XX (i.e., the inverse of the Frobenius in Grothendieck's formula),

#X(Fq)=qdimXi0(1)itr(f;Hi(X(Fq),l)),

The Siegel mass formula computes the left-hand side:[1] if G is a semisimple group with tamagawa number τ(G),

#X(Fq)=τ(G)x1vol(G(𝒪x))
