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:X→X (i.e., the inverse of the Frobenius in Grothendieck's formula),

#X(𝐅q)=qdim⁡X∑i≥0(−1)itr⁡(f;Hi(X(𝐅q),ℚl)),

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))
