Limits of translates of divergent geodesics and integral points on one-sheeted hyperboloids

Abstract: For any non-uniform lattice

G a m m a

in

S L (2, R)

, we describe the limit distribution of orthogonal translates of a divergent geodesic in

. As an application, for a quadratic form

Q

of signature

(2, 1)

, a lattice

G a m m a

in its isometry group, and

v_{0} i n R^{3}

with

Q (v_{0}) > 0

, we compute the asymptotic (with a logarithmic error term) of the number of points in a discrete orbit

v_{0} G a m m a

of norm at most

T

, when the stabilizer of

v_{0}

in

G a m m a

is finite. Our result in particular implies that for any non-zero integer

d

, the smoothed count for number of integral binary quadratic forms with discriminant

d^{2}

and with coefficients bounded by

T

is asymptotic to

c c d o t T l o g T + O (T)

.
