Joint equidistribution conjecture for primitive restriction forms

Let QQ be a positive definite integral quadratic form, let LL be a rational kk-dimensional subspace, and let qLq_L and qLq_{L^\perp} be the associated integral quadratic forms obtained by restricting QQ to the relevant lattices. For an integral quadratic form qq, let gcd(q)\gcd(q) be the largest positive integer dividing it and write q~=gcd(q)1q\widetilde q=\gcd(q)^{-1}q for its primitive part. Joint primitive-form equidistribution conjecture. If (Li)iN(L_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}} is a sequence of rational subspaces with discQ(Li)\operatorname{disc}_Q(L_i)\to\infty, then

det(q~Li,Zk)anddet(q~Li,Znk).\det(\widetilde q_{L_i},\mathbb{Z}^k)\quad\text{and}\quad\det(\widetilde q_{L_i^\perp},\mathbb{Z}^{n-k})\to\infty.

This is a technical growth condition intended to control the primitive parts of the restriction forms and is proved in the paper when knkk\neq n-k, while the equal-rank case remains open.
