Abstract

To classify the lattice polytopes with a given δ\delta-polynomial is an important open problem in Ehrhart theory. A complete classification of the Gorenstein simplices whose normalized volumes are prime integers is known. In particular, their δ\delta-polynomials are of the form 1+tk++t(v1)k1+t^k+\cdots+t^{(v-1)k}, where kk and vv are positive integers. In the present paper, a complete classification of the Gorenstein simplices with the above δ\delta-polynomials will be performed, when vv is either p2p^2 or pqpq, where pp and qq are prime integers with pqp \neq q. Moreover, we consider the number of Gorenstein simplices, up to unimodular equivalence, with the expected δ\delta-polynomial.
