N2 - Let f be an indefinite ternary integral quadratic form and let q be a nonzero integer such that - q det(f) is not a square. Let N(T, f, q) denote the number of integral solutions of the equation f(x) = q where x lies in the ball of radius T centered at the origin. We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of N(T, f, q) as T → ∞. We deduce from the results of our joint paper with Z. Rudnick that N(T, f, q) ∼ cEHL(T, f, q) as T → ∞, where EHL(T, f, q) is the Hardy-Littlewood expectation (the product of local densities) and 0≤c≤2. We give examples of f and q such that c takes the values 0, 1, 2.
