Abstract

We fix a maximal order O\mathcal O in \F=R,\C\F=\R,\C or H\mathbb{H}, and an \F\F-hermitian form QQ of signature (n,1)(n,1) with coefficients in O\mathcal O. Let kNk\in\N. By applying a lattice point theorem on the \F\F-hyperbolic space, we give an asymptotic formula with an error term, as t+t\to+\infty, for the number Nt(Q,k)N_t(Q,-k) of integral solutions xOn+1x\in\mathcal O^{n+1} of the equation Q[x]=kQ[x]=-k satisfying xn+1t|x_{n+1}|\leq t.
