Quadratic forms over global rings and fields (11E12)

Abstract: Let $f(t_1,ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least $3$, we show that there is a $delta(f)inmathbbQcap(0,1)$ such that $D_f(X)simdelta(f)X$ and call $delta(f)$ the density of $f$. We consider the inverse problem of which densities arise. Our main technical tool is a Near Hasse Principle: a quadratic form may fail to represent infinitely many integers that it locally represents, but this set of exceptions has density $0$ within the set of locally represented integers.
