Abstract

Let KK be a number field with ring of integers O\mathcal{O}. Two lattice points x,yOm{\bf x, y}\in \mathcal{O}^m with m2m\geq 2 are said to be visible from one another if gcd((xiyi),,(xmym))=O\gcd((x_i-y_i),\ldots, (x_m-y_m))=\mathcal{O}, where (xiyi)(x_i-y_i) is the ideal generated by xiyix_i-y_i. Let SOmS\subset \mathcal{O}^m be a finite set. For K=QK=\mathbb{Q}, the asymptotic density of the set of lattice points, visible from all points of SS, was studied by several authors. For general number fields KK, however, the asymptotic density has been studied only in the special case S={(0,,0)}S=\{(0,\ldots,0)\}. Our main result establishes the corresponding density formula for a number field KK whose ring of integers O\mathcal{O} is a principal ideal domain, for all finite sets SS with S2|S|\geq 2.
