Abstract

Let Q(X)Q(X) be any integral primitive positive definite quadratic form with discriminant DD and in kk variables where k4k\geq4. We give an upper bound on the number of integral solutions of Q(X)=nQ(X)=n for any integer nn in terms of nn, kk and DD. As a corollary, we give a definite answer to a conjecture of Rudnick and Lester on the small scale equidistribution of orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions restricted to an individual eigenspace on the flat torus Td\mathbb{T}^d for d5d\geq 5. Another application of our main theorem gives a sharp upper bound on Ad(n,t)A_{d}(n,t), the number of representation of the positive definite quadratic form Q(x,y)=nx2+2txy+ny2Q(x,y)=nx^2+2txy+ny^2 as a sum of squares of d5d\geq 5 linear forms where nn1(d1)o(1)<t<nn- n^{\frac{1}{(d-1)}-o(1)}< t < n. This upper bound allows us to study the local statistics of integral points on sphere.
