    We prove an analogue of a theorem of Eskin-Margulis-Mozes: suppose we are given a finite set of places SS over Q\mathbb{Q} containing the archimedean place and excluding the prime 22, an irrational isotropic form q{{\mathbf q}} of rank nβ‰₯4n\geq 4 on QS\mathbb{Q}_S, a product of pp-adic intervals IpI_p, and a product Ξ©\Omega of star-shaped sets. We show that unless n=4n=4 and q{{\mathbf q}} is split in at least one place, the number of SS-integral vectors v∈TΞ©{\mathbf v} \in {\mathsf{T}} \Omega satisfying simultaneously q(v)∈Ip{\mathbf q}( {\mathbf v} ) \in I_p for p∈Sp \in S is asymptotically given by Ξ»(q,Ξ©)∣Iβˆ£β‹…βˆp∈SfTpnβˆ’2, \lambda({\mathbf q}, \Omega) | I| \cdot \prod_{p\in S_f} T_p^{n-2}, as T{\mathsf{T}} goes to infinity, where ∣I∣| I | is the product of Haar measures of the pp-adic intervals IpI_p. The proof uses dynamics of unipotent flows on SS-arithmetic homogeneous spaces; in particular, it relies on an equidistribution result for certain translates of orbits applied to test functions with a controlled growth at infinity, specified by an SS-arithmetic variant of the Ξ± \alpha-function introduced in the work of Eskin, Margulis, Mozes, and an SS-arithemtic version of a theorem of Dani-Margulis.Comment: The article will appear in Journal of Modern Dynamics. In the revised version, several typos have been fixed. Moreover, another preprint (arXiv:1605.02436) has been incorporate
