In addition to the unique cover $M^+$ of the variety of modular lattices, we also deal with those twenty-three known covers of $M^+$ that can be extracted from the literature. For $M^+$ and for each of these twenty-three known varieties…
All indecomposable unimodular hermitian lattices in dimensions 14 and 15 over the ring of integers in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ are determined. Precisely one lattice in dimension 14 and two lattices in dimension 15 have minimal norm 3.
An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…
We show that all stack-sorting polytopes are simplices. Furthermore, we show that the stack-sorting polytopes generated from $Ln1$ permutations have relative volume 1. We establish an upper bound for the number of lattice points in a…
It is natural to ask how many isotopy classes of embedded essential surfaces lie in a given 3-manifold. The first bounds on the number of such surfaces were exponential, using normal surfaces. More recently, by restricting to alternating…

The $n$-dimensional lattice polytopes $\mathcal{Q}_{n,k}$ obtained by intersecting the $n$th dilate of the standard $n$-dimensional simplex in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the half-spaces $x_i \le 1$ for $1 \le i \le k$ form an interesting special…
This paper extends the recently obtained complete and continuous map of the Lattice Isometry Space (LISP) to the practical case of dimension 3. A periodic 3-dimensional lattice is an infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis…
A variant of the flatness problem from integer programming is studied, in which one considers convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with at most $k$ interior lattice points. The maximum lattice width of such a body is denoted by Flt(d,k) and it…
We study the problem of counting lattice points of a polytope that are weighted by an Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of a family of parametric polytopes. As applications one can compute integrals and maximum values of such quasi-polynomials, as…
In this paper, we consider integral maximal lattice-free simplices. Such simplices have integer vertices and contain integer points in the relative interior of each of their facets, but no integer point is allowed in the full interior. In…
Let $\Delta \subset \R^n$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. It is well-known that $h_{\Delta}^*(t) := (1-t)^{n+1} \sum_{k \geq 0} |k\Delta \cap \Z^n| t^k $ is a polynomial of degree $d \leq n$ with nonnegative integral coefficients.…
