Abstract: We obtain estimates for the number of integral solutions in large balls, of inequalities of the form $|Q(x,y)|<epsilon$, where $Q$ is an indefinite binary quadratic form, in terms of the Hurwitz continued fraction expansions of the slopes of the lines on which $Q$ vanishes. The method is based on a coding of geodesics on the modular surface via Hurwitz expansions of the endpoints of their lifts in the Poincare half-plane.

Review text

Let \(Q\) be an indefinite binary quadratic form \[ Q(x,y)= (ax+ by)(cx+ dy). \] The authors obtain estimates for the number of integral solutions in large balls of inequalities of the form \(|Q(x,y)|<\varepsilon\) in terms of the minus continued fraction expasion of \(a/b\) and \(c/d\). The method is based on a coding of geodesics on the modular surface via continued fraction expansions of the endpoints of their lifts in the upper half plane.
