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…

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…

A closed, convex set $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with non-empty interior is called lattice-free if the interior of $K$ is disjoint with $\mathbb{Z}^2$. In this paper we study the relation between the area and the lattice width of a planar…

In this paper we motivate some new directions of research regarding the lattice width of convex bodies. We show that convex bodies of sufficiently large width contain a unimodular copy of a standard simplex. This implies that every lattice…

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…

A polytope $D$ whose vertices belong to a lattice of rank $d$ is Delaunay if there is a circumscribing $d$-dimensional ellipsoid, $E$, with interior free of lattice points so that the vertices of $D$ lie on $E$. If in addition, the…

In this paper we show that the diameter of a d-dimensional lattice polytope in [0,k]^n is at most (k - 1/2) d. This result implies that the diameter of a d-dimensional half-integral polytope is at most 3/2 d. We also show that for…

After giving a short introduction on smooth lattice polytopes, I will present a proof for the finiteness of smooth lattice polytopes with few lattice points. The argument is then turned into an algorithm for the classification of smooth…

For a minimal inequality derived from a maximal lattice-free simplicial polytope in $\R^n$, we investigate the region where minimal liftings are uniquely defined, and we characterize when this region covers $\R^n$. We then use this…

It is known that polytopes with at most two nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their graphs, and that $d$-polytopes with at most $d-2$ nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their 2-skeletons. Here we close the gap between 2…

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…

In this paper, we provide a simple criterion for the Schubitope $\mathcal{S}_{D}$ associated to a diagram $D$ to be lattice-free. We further show that $\mathcal{S}_{D}$ is lattice-free if and only if its Ehrhart polynomial is equal to the…

A theorem of Howe states that every 3-dimensional lattice polytope $P$ whose only lattice points are its vertices, is a Cayley polytope, i.e. $P$ is the convex hull of two lattice polygons with distance one. We want to generalize this…
