Abstract

Let Γ\RRs \Gamma \subset \RR^s be a lattice obtained from a module in a totally real algebraic number field. Let \cR(\btheta,\bN)\cR(\btheta, \bN) be an error term in the lattice point problem for the parallelepiped [θ1N1,θ1N1]×...×[θsNs,θsNs][-\theta_1 N_1,\theta_1 N_1] \times ... \times [-\theta_s N_s,\theta_s N_{s}]. In this paper, we prove that \cR(\btheta,\bN)/σ(\cR,\bN)\cR(\btheta, \bN)/\sigma(\cR,\bN) have Gaussian limiting distribution as NN \to \infty, where \btheta=(θ1,...,θs)\btheta=(\theta_1,...,\theta_s) is a uniformly distributed random variable in [0,1]s[0,1]^s, N=N1...NsN=N_1 ... N_s and σ(\cR,\bN)(logN)(s1)/2\sigma(\cR,\bN) \asymp (\log N)^{(s-1)/2}. We obtain also a similar result for the low discrepancy sequence corresponding to Γ\Gamma.
