The \(n\)-point correlation of quadratic forms




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(v1,dots,vnight), with bounded norm, such that the n-1 differences Qleft(v1ight)Qleft(v2ight),dotsQleft(vn1ight)Qleft(vnight), 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. Gtze 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.
