✦ Synopsis


We consider actions of SLð2; ZÞ and SLð2; ZÞ þ (semigroup of matrices with nonnegative integral entries) on the projective space P and on P Â P. Results are obtained on orbit-closures under these actions and they are applied to describe a class of binary quadratic forms Q such that the sets QðZ 2 Þ or QðZ 2 þ Þ are dense in R. We prove also a result generalising a theorem of Troessaert and Valette (On values at integer points of some irrational quadratic forms, preprint) associating to certain binary quadratic forms Q rational quadratic forms Q 0 such that the closure of QðZ 2 Þ contains Q 0 ðZ 2 Þ.
