Quasi-period collapse in half-integral polygons
Abstract
A half-integral polygon with quasi-period collapse behaves similarly to a lattice polygon in the sense that the number of lattice points in its integer dilates can be calculated as values of a polynomial, its Ehrhart polynomial. As a main result, we classify the Ehrhart polynomials of all half-integral non-lattice polygons with quasi-period collapse. In particular, we obtain that for any positive integer , the polynomial is an Ehrhart polynomial of a rational polygon, which was an open question for . We also study some extreme cases in detail. In particular, we show that up to affine unimodular equivalence there exist exactly half-integral non-lattice polygons with quasi-periodic collapse with exactly one interior lattice point, which are the dual polygons of the LDP polygons of Gorenstein index . Furthermore, we classify all half-integral polygons with quasi-period collapse with at most interior lattice points or with interior lattice points and the maximum possible number of boundary lattice points.
