We present algorithms for classifying rational polygons with fixed denominator and number of interior lattice points. Our approach is to first describe maximal polygons and then compute all subpolygons, where we eliminate redundancy by a…

We ask which degree sequences admit a unique realisation as a $3$-polytopal graph (polyhedron) on $p$ vertices. We give an exhaustive list of these sequences for the case where one degree equals $p-1$ and exactly two or three of them equal…

We present a short elementary proof of the following Twelve Points Theorem: Let M be a convex polygon with vertices at the lattice points, containing a single lattice point in its interior. Denote by m (resp. m*) the number of lattice…

The illumination conjecture is a classical open problem in convex and discrete geometry, asserting that every compact convex body~$K$ in $\mathbb R^n$ can be illuminated by a set of no more than $2^n$ points. If $K$ has smooth boundary, it…

An abstract polytope is \emph{flat} if every facet is incident on every vertex. In this paper, we prove that no chiral polytope has flat finite regular facets and finite regular vertex-figures. We then determine the three smallest non-flat…

We study the set of visible lattice points in multidimensional hypercubes. The problems we investigate mix together geometric, probabilistic and number theoretic tones. For example, we prove that almost all self-visible triangles with…

We study the smallest convex lattice generated by a finite set of points. To analyze this structure, we introduce the notion of a point configuration, defined via the relative lattice. Under a suitable completeness condition, this lattice…

We give a classification of the lattices of rank r=4, r=8 and r=12 over \Q(\sqrt{-3}), which are even and unimodular \Z-lattices. Using this classification we construct the associated theta series, which are Hermitian modular forms, and…

We propose a conjecture regarding the integrally closedness of lattice polytopes with large lattice lengths. We demonstrate that a lattice simplex in dimension 3 (resp. 4) with lattice length of at least 2 (resp. 3 and no edge has lattice…

We find tight estimates for the minimum number of proper subspaces needed to cover all lattice points in an n-dimensional convex body symmetric about the origin. We also find the order of magnitude of the number of (n-1)-dimensional…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…

Finite (upper) nearlattices are essentially the same mathematical entities as finite semilattices, finite commutative idempotent semigroups, finite join-enriched meet semilattices, and chopped lattices. We prove that if an $n$-element…

We describe an algorithm to enumerate polytopes. This algorithm is then implemented to give a complete classification of combinatorial spheres of dimension 3 with 9 vertices and decide polytopality of those spheres. In particular, we…

Minkowski's second theorem on successive minima asserts that the volume of a 0-symmetric convex body K over the covolume of a lattice \Lambda can be bounded above by a quantity involving all the successive minima of K with respect to…

We prove that the largest $Q_2$-free family of subsets of $[n]$ which contains sets of at most three different sizes has at most $(3 + 2\sqrt {3})N/3 + o(N) \approx 2.1547N + o(N)$ members, where $N = {n \choose {\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}}$.…

We consider the problem of computing $R(c,a)$, the number of unlabeled graded lattices of rank $3$ that contain $c$ coatoms and $a$ atoms. More specifically we do this when $c$ is fairly small, but $a$ may be large. For this task, we…

We classify all tuples of lattice polyhedra of relative mixed volume 1 and all minimal (by inclusion) tuples of polyhedra of relative mixed volume 2. We also prove a conjecture by A. Esterov, which states that all tuples with finite…

We formulate and give partial answers to several combinatorial problems on volumes of simplices determined by $n$ points in 3-space, and in general in $d$ dimensions. (i) The number of tetrahedra of minimum (nonzero) volume spanned by $n$…

In 2020 Bhavale and Waphare introduced the concept of a nullity of a poset as nullity of its cover graph. According to Bhavale and Waphare, if a dismantlable lattice of nullity k contains r reducible elements then 2 $\leq$ r $\leq$ 2k. In…

We begin by revisiting a paper of Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn, which posed the following question: given $k\in \mathbb{N}$, what is the maximum number of points in a plane that determine at most $k$ distinct distances, and can such optimal…
