Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group defined over a number field $K$, $e$ a maximal $K$-split torus of $G$, $mathcalS$ a finite set of valuations of $K$ containing the archimedean ones, $OO$ the ring of $mathcalS$-integers of $K$ and $K_{m}athcalS$ the direct product of the completions $K_v,vinmathcalS$. Denote $G=G(K_{m}athcalS)$, $T=e(K_{m}athcalS)$ and $Gamma=G(OO)$. Let $Tpi(g)$ be a locally divergent orbit for the action of $T$ on $G/Gamma$ by left translations. We prove: ($1$) if $$ then the closure $overlineTpi(g)$ is a union of finitely many $T$-orbits all stratified in terms of parabolic subgroups of $GimesG$ and, therefore, $overlineTpi(g)$ is homogeneous only if $Tpi(g)$ is closed, ($2$) if $$ and $K$ is not a $mathrmCM$-field then $overlineTpi(g)$ is squeezed between closed orbits of two reductive groups of equal semisimple ranks implying that $overlineTpi(g)$ is homogeneous when $G=mathbf{SL}_n$. As an application, if $f=(f_v{)}_{vinmathcalS}in{K}_{mathcalS}[x_1,cdots,x_n]$, where $f_v$ are non-pairwise proportional decomposable over $K$ homogeneous forms, then $f(O{O}^n)$ is dense in $K_{mathcalS}$.
