M. Beck, J. De Loera, M. Develin, J. Pfeifle and R. Stanley found that the roots of the Ehrhart polynomial of a d-dimensional lattice polytope are bounded above in norm by 1+(d+1)!. We provide an improved bound which is quadratic in d and…

We present lower bounds for the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomials of convex lattice polytopes in terms of their volume. Concerning the coefficients of the Ehrhart series of a lattice polytope we show that Hibi's lower bound is not true…

We present new ideas for computing elliptic Gau{\ss} sums, which constitute an analogue of the classical cyclotomic Gau{\ss} sums and whose use has been proposed in the context of counting points on elliptic curves and primality tests. By…

We provide an elementary proof of a formula for the number of northeast lattice paths that lie in a certain region of the plane. Equivalently, this formula counts the lattice points inside the Pitman--Stanley polytope of an n-tuple.

We give a new proof for a theorem of Ehrhart regarding the quasi-polynomiality of the function that counts the number of integer points in the integral dilates of a rational polytope. The proof involves a geometric bijection,…

We prove a sharp upper bound on the number of boundary lattice points of a rational polygon in terms of its denominator and the number of interior lattice points, generalizing Scott's inequality. We then give sharp lower and upper bounds on…

For a lattice polytope P, define A_P(t) as the sum of the solid angles of all the integer points in the dilate tP. Ehrhart and Macdonald proved that A_P(t) is a polynomial in the positive integer variable t. We study the numerator…

We estimate the lattice sums arising in the context of the integer point counting in polyhedra.

Hurwitz numbers are the Laurent coefficients of an elliptic function $\wp(u)$ of cyclotomic type, and they are natural generalization of the Bernoulli numbers. This paper gives new generalization of Bernoulli and Hurwitz numbers for higher…

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…

We consider the integer point transform $\sigma _P (\mathbf{x}) = \sum _{\mathbf{m} \in P\cap \mathbb{Z}^n} \mathbf{x}^\mathbf{m} \in \mathbb C [x_1^{\pm 1},\ldots, x_n^{\pm 1}]$ of a polytope $P\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. We show that if $P$ is…

The number of clusters per site $n(p)$ in percolation at the critical point $p = p_c$ is not itself a universal quantity---it depends upon the lattice and percolation type (site or bond). However, many of its properties, including…

It is shown that there exist such a function g from L^1[0,1] and a weight function 0<u(x)<=1 that g is universal for the weighted space L^1_u[0,1] with respect to signs of its Fourier-Walsh coefficients.

Building from the work of von Bell et al.~(2022), we study the Ehrhart theory of order polytopes arising from a special class of distributive lattices, known as generalized snake posets. We present arithmetic properties satisfied by the…

We show that the problem of deciding whether a given Euclidean lattice L has an orthonormal basis is in NP and co-NP. Since this is equivalent to saying that L is isomorphic to the standard integer lattice, this problem is a special form of…

We prove that every polytope described by algebraic coordinates is the face of a projectively unique polytope. This provides a universality property for projectively unique polytopes. Using a closely related result of Below, we construct a…

Fix two lattice paths $P$ and $Q$ from $(0,0)$ to $(m,r)$ that use East and North steps with $P $ never going above $Q$. Bonin et al. show that the lattice paths that go from $(0,0)$ to $(m,r)$ and remain bounded by $P$ and $Q$ can be…

We generalize R. P. Stanley's celebrated theorem that the $h^\ast$-polynomial of the Ehrhart series of a rational polytope has nonnegative coefficients and is monotone under containment of polytopes. We show that these results continue to…
