Abstract: In this paper we investigate the distribution of the set of values of a quadratic form Q, at integral points. In particular we are interested in the n-point correlations of the this set. The asymptotic behaviour of the counting function that counts the number of n-tuples of integral points $left(v_1,dots,v_{n}ight)$, with bounded norm, such that the n-1 differences $Qleft(v_{1}ight)-Qleft(v_{2}ight),dotsQleft(v_{n-1}ight)-Qleft(v_{n}ight)$, lie in prescribed intervals is obtained. The results are valid provided that the quadratic form has rank at least 5, is not a multiple of a rational form and n is at most the rank of the quadratic form. For certain quadratic forms satisfying Diophantine conditions we obtain a rate for the limit. The proofs are based on those in the recent preprint ([G-M]) of F. G$$tze and G. Margulis, in which they prove an `effective' version of the Oppenheim Conjecture. In particular, the proofs rely on Fourier analysis and estimates for certain theta series.
