Reconstruction of symmetric convex bodies from Ehrhart-like data

Abstract

In a previous paper, we showed how to use the Ehrhart function LP(s)L_P(s), defined by LP(s)=#(sPZd)L_P(s) = \#(sP \cap \mathbb Z^d), to reconstruct a polytope PP. More specifically, we showed that, for rational polytopes PP and QQ, if LP+w(s)=LQ+w(s)L_{P + w}(s) = L_{Q + w}(s) for all integer vectors ww, then P=QP = Q. In this paper we show the same result, but assuming that PP and QQ are symmetric convex bodies instead of rational polytopes.
