Abstract:
The Oppenheim conjecture, proved by Margulis in 1986, states that the set of values at integral points of an indefinite quadratic form in three or more variables is dense, provided the form is not proportional to a rational form. In this paper we study the distribution of values of such a form. We show that if the signature of the form is not  or  , then the values are uniformly distributed on the real line, provided the form is not proportional to a rational form. In the cases where the signature is  or  we show that no such universal formula exists, and give asymptotic upper bounds which are in general best possible.
