Lagrange's four-square theorem asserts that any $n\in\mathbb N=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ can be written as the sum of four squares. This can be further refined in various ways. We show that any $n\in\mathbb N$ can be written as $x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2$…

We prove the Pierce--Birkhoff conjecture for splines, i.e., continuous piecewise polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables on a hyperplane partition of $\mathbb{R}^n$, can be written as a finite lattice combination of polynomials. We will…

We prove that any smooth cubic surface defined over any number field satisfies the lower bound predicted by Manin's conjecture possibly after an extension of small degree.

We adapt the theory of non-Archimedean uniformization to construct a smooth surface from a lattice in PGL3(Q2) that has nontrivial torsion. It turns out to be a fake projective plane, commensurable with Mumford's fake plane yet distinct…

We state the formula for the critical number of vertices of a convex lattice polygon that guarantees that the polygon contains at least one point of a given sublattice and give a partial proof of the formula. We show that the proof can be…

Given a lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we consider its Minkowski reduced basis and the solid angle $\Omega$ spanned by the basis vectors. Such a basis satisfies strong near-orthogonality conditions, which allow us to bound from…

A symmetrized lattice of $2n$ points in terms of an irrational real number $\alpha$ is considered in the unit square, as in the theorem of Davenport. If $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational, the square of the $L^2$ discrepancy is found to be…

In this paper, we prove new upper bounds for sums of reciprocals of fractional parts over general aligned boxes, thus extending a previous result of the author concerning bounds for sums of reciprocals over symmetric boxes. These new upper…

We prove that a simple knot in the lens space $L(p,q)$ fibers if and only if its order in homology does not divide any remainder occurring in the Euclidean algorithm applied to the pair $(p,q)$. One corollary is that if $p=m^2$ is a perfect…

The Ehrhart polynomial $ehr_P (n)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ gives the number of integer lattice points in the $n$-th dilate of $P$ for all integers $n\geq 0$. The degree of $P$ is defined as the degree of its $h^\ast$-polynomial, a…

We evaluate the mean square limit of exponential sums related with a rational ellipsoid, extending a work of Marklof. Moreover, as a result of it, we study the asymptotic values of the normalized deviations of the number of lattice points…

The free sum is a basic geometric operation among convex polytopes. This note focuses on the relationship between the normalized volume of the free sum and that of the summands. In particular, we show that the normalized volume of the free…

Ismail et al. (Constr. Approx. {\bf 15} (1999) 69--81) proved the positivity of some trigonometric polynomials with single binomial coefficients. In this paper, we prove some similar results by replacing the binomial coefficients with…

We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…

We prove uniform versions of two classical results in analytic number theory. The first is an asymptotic for the number of points of a complete lattice $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ inside the $d$-sphere of radius $R$. In contrast to…

A well-known conjecture states that the Whitney numbers of the second kind of a geometric lattice (simple matroid) are logarithmically concave. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to proving an upper bound on the number of new copoints…

For $A\in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times n}$ we investigate the behaviour of the number of lattice points in $P_A(b)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:Ax\leq b\}$, depending on the varying vector $b$. It is known that this number, restricted to a cone of constant…

This paper initiates the systematic study of the number of points of bounded height on symmetric squares of weak Fano varieties. We provide a general framework for establishing the point count on $\text{Sym}^2 X$. In the specific case of…

A non-perturbative algebraic theory of lattice Boltzmann method is developed based on a symmetry of a product. It involves three steps: (i) Derivation of admissible lattices in one spatial dimension through a matching condition which…

The main purpose of this note is to prove an upper bound on the number of lattice points of a centrally symmetric convex body in terms of the successive minima of the body. This bound improves on former bounds and narrows the gap towards a…
