Asymptotic distribution of values of isotropic quadratic forms at $S$-integral points
Abstract
We prove an analogue of a theorem of Eskin-Margulis-Mozes: suppose we are given a finite set of places over containing the archimedean place and excluding the prime , an irrational isotropic form of rank on , a product of -adic intervals , and a product of star-shaped sets. We show that unless and is split in at least one place, the number of -integral vectors satisfying simultaneously for is asymptotically given by as goes to infinity, where is the product of Haar measures of the -adic intervals . The proof uses dynamics of unipotent flows on -arithmetic homogeneous spaces; in particular, it relies on an equidistribution result for certain translates of orbits applied to test functions with a controlled growth at infinity, specified by an -arithmetic variant of the -function introduced in the work of Eskin, Margulis, Mozes, and an -arithemtic version of a theorem of Dani-Margulis.
