We show that, if the interior of a lattice d-polytope P contains at least one lattice point, then it contains a lattice point whose coefficient of asymmetry with respect to P is at most b for some number b depending on d only. As an…
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…
Let $K$ be a maximal lattice-free set in $\mathbb{R}^d$, that is, $K$ is convex and closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the interior of $K$ does not cointain points of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and $K$ is inclusion-maximal with respect to the above…
One of the most fruitful results from Minkowski's geometric viewpoint on number theory is his so called 1st Fundamental Theorem. It provides an optimal upper bound for the volume of an o-symmetric convex body whose only interior lattice…
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 adapt an argument of Tao and Vu to show that if $\lambda_1\le\cdots\le\lambda_d$ are the successive minima of an origin-symmetric convex body $K$ with respect to some lattice $\Lambda<\mathbb{R}^d$, and if we set…
We study the Minkowski length L(P) of a lattice polytope P, which is defined to be the largest number of non-trivial primitive segments whose Minkowski sum lies in P. The Minkowski length represents the largest possible number of factors in…
Let $K$ be a convex body in $\R^d$, let $j\in\{1, ..., d-1\}$, and let $\varrho$ be a positive and continuous probability density function with respect to the $(d-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary $\partial K$ of $K$. Denote…
Minkowski's second theorem on successive minima gives an upper bound on the volume of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. We study the problem to generalize Minkowski's bound by replacing the volume by the lattice point…
We provide a sharp estimate for the asymptotic number of lattice zonotopes, inscribed in $[0,n ]^d$ when $n$ tends to infinity. Our estimate refines the logarithmic equivalent established by Barany, Bureaux, and Lund when the sum of the…
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 show that up to unimodular equivalence there are only finitely many d-dimensional lattice polytopes without interior lattice points that do not admit a lattice projection onto a (d-1)-dimensional lattice polytope without interior lattice…
In this note, we derive an asymptotically sharp upper bound on the number of lattice points in terms of the volume of centrally symmetric convex bodies. Our main tool is a generalization of a result of Davenport that bounds the number of…
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…
For each dimension $d$, $d$-dimensional integral simplices with exactly one interior integral point have bounded volume. This was first shown by Hensley. Explicit volume bounds were determined by Hensley, Lagarias and Ziegler, Pikhurko, and…
Every convex body K in R^n has a coordinate projection PK that contains at least vol(0.1 K) cells of the integer lattice PZ^n, provided this volume is at least one. Our proof of this counterpart of Minkowski's theorem is based on an…
Given a centered convex body $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$, we study the optimal value of the constant $\tilde{\Lambda}(K)$ such that there exists an orthonormal basis $\{w_i\}_{i=1}^n$ for which the following reverse dual Loomis-Whitney…
As a discrete analog to Minkowski's theorem on convex bodies, Wills conjectured that the Ehrhart coefficients of a centrally symmetric lattice polytope with exactly one interior lattice point are maximized by those of the cube of side…
Henze and Malikiosis (2017) have shown that the Lonely Runner Conjecture (LRC) can be restated as a convex-geometric question on the so-called LR zonotopes, lattice zonotopes with one more generator than their dimension. This relation…
We establish estimates for the asymptotic best approximation of the Euclidean unit ball by polytopes under a notion of distance induced by the intrinsic volumes. We also introduce a notion of distance between convex bodies that is induced…
