Abstract

We study the error of the number of points of a lattice LL that belong to a rectangle, centred at 00, whose axes are parallel to the coordinate axes, dilated by a factor tt and then translated by a vector XR2X \in \mathbb{R}^{2}. When we consider the second order moment of the error relatively to XR2/LX \in \mathbb{R}^{2}/L, one shows that, when tt is random and becomes large and when the error is normalized by a quantity which behaves, in the admissible case, as log(t)\sqrt{\log(t)}, it converges in distribution to an explicit positive constant. In the case of a typical lattice LL, we show that this result still holds but the normalisation is more important, around log(t)\log(t). We also show that when L=Z2L=\mathbb{Z}^{2}, the error, when normalized by tt, converges in distribution when tt is random and becomes large and we compute the moments of the limit distribution.
