Abstract

Let A\mathcal A be a star-shaped polygon in the plane, with rational vertices, containing the origin. The number of primitive lattice points in the dilate tAt\mathcal A is asymptotically 6π2\frac6{\pi^2} Area(tA)(t\mathcal A) as tt\to \infty. We show that the error term is both Ω±(tloglogt)\Omega_\pm\big( t\sqrt{\log\log t} \big) and O(t(logt)2/3(loglogt)4/3)O(t(\log t)^{2/3}(\log\log t)^{4/3}). Both bounds extend (to the above class of polygons) known results for the isosceles right triangle, which appear in the literature as bounds for the error term in the summatory function for Euler's ϕ(n)\phi(n).
