We give an explicit upper bound on the volume of lattice simplices with fixed positive number of interior lattice points. The bound differs from the conjectural sharp upper bound only by a linear factor in the dimension. This improves…

In the study of Euclidean lattices, the product of the successive minima is bounded from above and below by explicit quantities. This result is known as Minkowski's second theorem, and can be refined to include Hermite's constant in the…

In 1978, Makai Jr. established a remarkable connection between the volume-product of a convex body, its maximal lattice packing density and the minimal density of a lattice arrangement of its polar body intersecting every affine hyperplane.…

Let $\lambda_k$ denote the $k$-th successive minimum of a lattice $L$. We study properties of the lengths of certain bases of $L$. If $v_1, \dots v_n$ is a basis which is reduced in the sense of Minkowski we show that $\lvert v_k \rvert^2…

We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp…

We prove that for any integral lattice $\mathcal{L} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ (that is, a lattice $\mathcal{L}$ such that the inner product $\langle \mathbf{y}_1,\mathbf{y}_2 \rangle$ is an integer for all $\mathbf{y}_1, \mathbf{y}_2 \in…

We give a precise estimate for the number of lattice points in certain bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that involve `hyperbolic spikes' and occur naturally in multiplicative Diophantine approximation. We use Wilkie's o-minimal structure…

We prove a sharp bound for the remainder term of the number of lattice points inside a ball, when averaging over a compact set of (not necessarily unimodular) lattices, in dimensions two and three. We also prove that such a bound cannot…

The Minkowski length of a lattice polytope $P$ is a natural generalization of the lattice diameter of $P$. It can be defined as the largest number of lattice segments whose Minkowski sum is contained in $P$. The famous Ehrhart theorem…
