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…
We show that the largest possible diameter $\delta(d,k)$ of a $d$-dimensional polytope whose vertices have integer coordinates ranging between $0$ and $k$ is at most $kd-\lceil2d/3\rceil$ when $k\geq3$. In addition, we show that…

Two-dimensional lattices provide the arena for many physics problems of essential importance, a non-trivial symmetry in such lattices will help to reveal the underlying physics. Whether there is a directional scaling for the 2D lattices is…

A method is presented for calculating the Lie point symmetries of a scalar difference equation on a two-dimensional lattice. The symmetry transformations act on the equations and on the lattice. They take solutions into solutions and can be…
Let $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a lattice polytope of dimension $d$. Let $b(\mathcal{P})$ denote the number of lattice points belonging to the boundary of $\mathcal{P}$ and $c(\mathcal{P})$ that to the interior of $\mathcal{P}$.…
This paper is dedicated to a lattice analog to the classical ``sum of interior angles of a polygon theorem''. In 2008, the first formula expressing conditions on the geometric continued fractions for lattice angles of triangles was derived,…
We study the lattice width of lattice-free polyhedra given by $\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}\leq\mathbf{b}$ in terms of $\Delta(\mathbf{A})$, the maximal $n\times n$ minor in absolute value of $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times n}$. Our main…

The local $h^*$-polynomial is a natural invariant of a lattice polytope appearing in Ehrhart theory and Hodge theory. In this work, we study the question posed in [GKZ94] concerning the classification of lattice simplices with vanishing…
We study a harmonic triangular lattice, which relaxes in the presence of a weak, short-wavelength periodic potential. Monte Carlo simulations reveal that the elastic lattice has only short-ranged positional correlations, despite the absence…
We introduce the notion of the second lattice width of a lattice polytope and use this to classify lattice triangles by their width and second width. This is equivalent to classifying lattice triangles contained in a given rectangle (and no…
These lectures about lattice field theory were written for, and given at, TASI 2019, ``The many dimensions of quantum field theory.'' The students at this TASI were mostly interested in formal things, and so these are slightly unusual…
