Abstract

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the distribution of primitive lattice points in a symmetric Borel set SdRdS_d\subset\mathbb R^d as dd goes to infinity, under certain volume conditions on SdS_d. Our main technique involves exploring higher moment formulas for the primitive Siegel transform. We first demonstrate that if the volume of SdS_d remains fixed for all dNd\in \mathbb N, then the distribution of the half the number of primitive lattice points in SdS_d converges, in distribution, to the Poisson distribution of mean 12\frac 1 2. Furthermore, if the volume of SdS_d goes to infinity subexponentially as dd approaches infinity, the normalized distribution of the half the number of primitive lattice points in SdS_d converges, in distribution, to the normal distribution N(0,1)\mathcal N(0,1). We also extend these results to the setting of stochastic processes. This work is motivated by the contributions of Rogers (1955), S\"odergren (2011) and Str\"ombergsson and S\"odergren (2019).
