In particular we show that this set is dense in the range of the linear map subject to certain algebraic conditions on the linear map and the quadratic form that defines the surface. The proof uses Ratner's Theorem on orbit closures of unipotent subgroups acting on homogeneous spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-01-29T09:46:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J25", "37A17" ], "keywords": [ "quadratic surface", "linear map subject", "integer points", "algebraic conditions", "quadratic form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1111.4428S" } } }
