Abstract.

The ratio of the Tamagawa measure and a certain invariant measure on the group GL n () is computed, where is the adèle of a division algebra D over a global field. An explicit formula of the ratio is described in terms of the special values of the zeta function of D. This formula yields (i) an explicit lower bound of the Hermite–Rankin constant γ n,m (D) of D and (ii) an explicit asymptotic behavior of the distribution of rational points on Brauer–Severi variety.
