Let $\Sigma$ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W,S). The automorphism group G of $\Sigma$ is naturally a locally compact group, and a simple combinatorial condition due to Haglund--Paulin determines when G is nondiscrete. The…

We consider a compact convex body $\mathcal{B}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ $(d\geqslant 3)$ with smooth boundary and nonzero Gaussian curvature and prove a new estimate of $P_{\mathcal{B}}(t)$, the remainder in the lattice point problem, which…

We define Q-normal lattice polytopes. Natural examples of such polytopes are Cayley sums of strictly combinatorially equivalent lattice polytopes, which correspond to particularly nice toric fibrations, namely toric projective bundles. In a…

Using classical density functional theory, we study the behavior of dimers, i.e. hard rods of length $L=2$, on a two-dimensional cubic lattice. For deriving a free energy functional, we employ Levy's prescription which is based on the…

Let $G=SL_2(\mathbb R)^d$ and $\Gamma=\Gamma_0^d$ with $\Gamma_0$ a lattice in $SL_2(\mathbb R)$. Let $S$ be any "curved" submanifold of small codimension of a maximal horospherical subgroup of $G$ relative to an $\mathbb R$-diagonalizable…

We establish that for any non-empty, compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}_{\mathrm{sym}}^{3\times 3}$ the $1$- and $\infty$-symmetric div-quasiconvex hulls $K^{(1)}$ and $K^{(\infty)}$ coincide. This settles a conjecture in a recent work of…

We shall give, in an optimal form, a sufficient numerical condition for the finiteness of the fundamental group of the smooth locus of a normal K3 surface. We shall moreover prove that, if the normal K3 surface is elliptic and the above…

Let $V$ be any vector space of multivariate degree-$d$ homogeneous polynomials with co-dimension at most $k$, and $S$ be the set of points where all polynomials in $V$ {\em nearly} vanish. We establish a qualitatively optimal upper bound on…

We prove the following result: Let K be a lattice, let D be a distributive lattice with zero, and let $\phi$: Con K $\to$ D be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism, where Conc K denotes the {∨, 0}-semilattice of all finitely generated…

We consider the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of the vectors of a unit tight equiangular $(k,n)$ frame and are interested in the question whether this set is a lattice, that is, a discrete additive subgroup of the…

In a $d$-dimensional convex body $K$, for $n \leq d+1$, random points $X_0, \dots, X_{n-1}$ are chosen according to the uniform distribution in $K$. Their convex hull is a random $(n-1)$-simplex with probability $1$. We denote its…

Let $E(x;\omega)$ be the error term for the number of integer lattice points lying inside a $3$-dimensional Cygan-Kor\'anyi spherical shell of inner radius $x$ and gap width $\omega(x)>0$. Assuming that $\omega(x)\to0$ as $x\to\infty$, and…

Let $K \in \R^d$ be a convex body, and assume that $L$ is a randomly rotated and shifted integer lattice. Let $K_L$ be the convex hull of the (random) points $K \cap L$. The mean width $W(K_L)$ of $K_L$ is investigated. The asymptotic order…

In this paper we study complex symplectic manifolds, i.e., compact complex manifolds $X$ which admit a holomorphic $(2, 0)$-form $\sigma$ which is $d$-closed and non-degenerate, and in particular the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki quadric…

We study packings of hard spheres on lattices. The partition function, and therefore the pressure, may be written solely in terms of the accessible free volume, i.e. the volume of space that a sphere can explore without touching another…

The Dehn function and its higher-dimensional generalizations measure the difficulty of filling a sphere in a space by a ball. In nonpositively curved spaces, one can construct fillings using geodesics, but fillings become more complicated…

If $\mathcal{B}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geqslant 2$) is a compact convex domain with a smooth boundary of finite type, we prove that for almost every rotation $\theta\in SO(d)$ the remainder of the lattice point problem, $P_{\theta…

We explore upper bounds on the covering radius of non-hollow lattice polytopes. In particular, we conjecture a general upper bound of $d/2$ in dimension $d$, achieved by the "standard terminal simplices" and direct sums of them. We prove…

We investigate the asymptotic best approximation of a smooth, strictly convex body $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ by inscribed polytopes with a restricted number of vertices under the intrinsic volume difference. We prove rigidity phenomena in both…

For a closure space (P,f) with f(\emptyset)=\emptyset, the closures of open subsets of P, called the regular closed subsets, form an ortholattice Reg(P,f), extending the poset Clop(P,f) of all clopen subsets. If (P,f) is a finite convex…
