Abstract

Let Λ\Lambda be a lattice in Rn\R^n, and let ZRm+nZ\subseteq \R^{m+n} be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over R\R. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers ZT=xRn:(T,x)ZZ_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}. Along the way we show that for any subspace ΣRn\Sigma\subseteq\R^n of dimension j>0j>0 the jj-volume of the orthogonal projection of ZTZ_T to Σ\Sigma is, up to a constant depending only on the family ZZ, bounded by the maximal jj-dimensional volume of the orthogonal projections to the jj-dimensional coordinate subspaces.
