Lattice points in spherical segments

Number Theory 2020-07-14 v2

Abstract

We study lattice points in d-dimensional spheres, and count their number in thin spherical segments. We found an upper bound depending only on the radius of the sphere and opening angle of the segment. To obtain this bound we slice the segment by hyperplanes of rational direction, and then cover an arbitrary segment with one having rational direction. Diophantine approximation can be used to obtain the best rational direction possible.
