Abstract
For , we consider . If is the set of nonzero values assumed by a quadratic form, when is dense in the -adic numbers? We show that for a binary quadratic form , is dense in if and only if the discriminant of is a nonzero square in , and for a quadratic form in at least three variables, is always dense in . This answers a question posed by several authors in 2017.
