The proof uses the ergodic theory of $p$-adic groups, together with a fairly general observation on the structure of orbits of an arithmetic group acting on integral points of a variety.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-04-13T13:09:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quadratic forms", "representations", "local-global principle holds", "integral points", "adic groups" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Inventiones Mathematicae", "year": 2007, "month": "Nov", "volume": 171, "number": 2, "pages": 257 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007InMat.171..257E" } } }
