We establish an error estimate for counting lattice points in Euclidean norm balls (associated to an arbitrary irreducible linear representation) for lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least two. Our approach utilizes refined…
We introduce a novel intrinsic volume concept in tropical geometry. This is achieved by developing the foundations of a tropical analog of lattice point counting in polytopes. We exhibit the basic properties and compare it to existing…
Equivariant Ehrhart theory generalizes the study of lattice point enumeration to also account for the symmetries of a polytope under a linear group action. We present a catalogue of techniques with applications in this field, including…
We study a lattice point counting problem for spheres arising from the Heisenberg groups. In particular, we prove an upper bound on the number of points on and near large dilates of the unit spheres generated by the anisotropic norms…
Motivated by the problem of counting finite BPS webs, we count certain immersed metric graphs, tripods, on the flat torus. Classical Euclidean geometry turns this into a lattice point counting problem in $\mathbb C^2$, and we give an…
The notion of Ehrhart tensor polynomials, a natural generalization of the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope, was recently introduced by Ludwig and Silverstein. We initiate a study of their coefficients. In the vector and matrix…
We recover the Tutte polynomial of a matroid, up to change of coordinates, from an Ehrhart-style polynomial counting lattice points in the Minkowski sum of its base polytope and scalings of simplices. Our polynomial has coefficients of…
Stanley introduced a lattice polytope $\mathcal{C}_P$ arising from a finite poset $P$, which is called the chain polytope of $P$. The geometric structure of $\mathcal{C}_P$ has good relations with the combinatorial structure of $P$. In…
Ehrhart theory is the study of sequences recording the number of integer points in non-negative integral dilates of rational polytopes. For a given lattice polytope, this sequence is encoded in a finite vector called the Ehrhart…
We prove a uniform upper and lower bound for Delannoy numbers. This is achieved by using the representation of Delannoy numbers as the number of lattice points in high-dimensional cross-polytopes (also known as hyper-octahedrons or $\ell^1$…
My main results are simple formulas for the surface area of d-dimensional lattice polytopes using Ehrhart theory.
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…
Regular integer lattices are characterized by k unit vectors that build up their generator matrices. These have rank k for D-lattices, and are rank-deficient for A-lattices, for E_6 and E_7. We count lattice points inside hypercubes…
The Ehrhart polynomial $L_P$ of an integral polytope $P$ counts the number of integer points in integral dilates of $P$. Ehrhart polynomials of polytopes are often described in terms of their Ehrhart $h^*$-vector (aka Ehrhart…
This paper is to study the Ehrhart function $L(P,t)$ of a rational $n$-polytope $P$, defined as the number of lattice points of dilated polytopes $tP$ with real numbers $t\geq 0$. It turns out that $L(P,t)$ is a quasi-polynomial of real…
This is a leisurely introductory account addressed to non-experts and based on previous work by the authors, on how methods borrowed from physics can be used to "count" an infinite number of points. We begin with the classical case of…
Equivariant Ehrhart theory enumerates the lattice points in a polytope with respect to a group action. Answering a question of Stapledon, we describe the equivariant Ehrhart theory of the permutahedron, and we prove his Effectiveness…
We completely classify non-spanning $3$-polytopes, by which we mean lattice $3$-polytopes whose lattice points do not affinely span the lattice. We show that, except for six small polytopes (all having between five and eight lattice…
We obtain a growth estimate for the number of lattice points inside any Q-Gorenstein cone. Our proof uses the result of Futaki-Ono-Wang on Sasaki-Einstein metric for the toric Sasakian manifold associated to the cone, a Yau's inequality,…
Zonotopes are a rich and fascinating family of polytopes, with connections to many areas of mathematics. In this article we provide a brief survey of classical and recent results related to lattice zonotopes. Our emphasis is on connections…
