Summary:There is a well-known analogy between positive and polynomials over finite fields, and a vast literature on analytic number theory for polynomials. From a geometric point of view, monic polynomials are equivalent to effective 0-cycles on the affine line. This leads one to ask: Can the analogy between integers and polynomials be extended to effective 0-cycles on more general varieties? In this thesis, we present several results supporting a positive answer to this question. Inspired by classical and modern results in analytic number theory, we study the "prime factorization" of random effective 0-cycles on varieties, generalizing previous works on polynomials.
