Let \(G\) be an \(F\)-anisotropic inner form of a split semi-simple group \(\widetilde G\) of adjoint type over a number field \(F\). Let \(\rho_F: G\to D^x\) be an \(F\)-group morphism from \(G\) to the multiplicative group of a central simple algebra \(D\) over \(F\). Let \(N(\rho,B)=\# \{\gamma\in G(F)\); \(H(\rho_F(\gamma))\leq B\}\), where \(H\) denotes a global height function on \(D\). Let \(\rho_\kappa\) denotes the irreducible algebraic representation of \(\widetilde G\) associated with a dominant weight \(\kappa=\sum_{\alpha\in\Phi^+}\alpha+\sum_{1\leq i\leq r} \alpha_i\). Here a Borel subgroup with maximal split torus in \(\widetilde G\) is fixed and \(\Phi\) denotes the root system, and \(\{\alpha_1,\dots, \alpha_r\}\) is the set of simple roots. The authors give an outline of their proof of the main result, which says that \(N(\rho_\kappa,B)=(c_\kappa/ (r-1)!)B(\log B)^{r-1} (1+o (1))\), where \(c_\kappa=\lim_{s\to 1}(s-1)^r \int_{G({\mathbf A})}H(\rho_F (g))^{-s}dg\) with \(dg\) a suitably normalized Haar measure on \(G({\mathbf A})\).For the entire collection see [Zbl 1051.11005].
