Lattice points in cross-polytopes
Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a cross-polytope:
$$E= \left\lbrace x : \frac{|x_1|}{q_1}+\cdots+\frac{|x_n|}{q_n}\leq 1 \right\rbrace, $$
where $q_1,\dots,q_n$ are positive integer …

Tensor product with $\mathbb{R}$ of an even unimodular lattice
Let $\Lambda$ be an unimodular even lattice of signature $(m,n)$.
By a classifying theorem by Milnor, $\Lambda$ must be of the form $U^k\oplus E_8(\pm 1)^l$, where $U$ is the hyper …

Sums of inverse determinants over matrices
Let $A \in M_n(\mathbb Z)$ and $\|A\| = \max |a_{ij}|$.
Denote $$ S(r) = \sum_{\substack{\|A\| \leq r \\ \det{A} \neq 0}} \dfrac{1}{|\det{A}|} $$
- the sum over all matrices $A \in …

Zoll Flat Finsler tori and convex bodies on a starry night
The starry night. The "celestial sphere" is given by set of non-zero vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ modulo positive dilations (i.e., $v \equiv w$ if $v = \lambda w$ for some $ \lambda …

Equivalence relations in suplattices
I am wondering about generalisations of the concept of equivalence relations to suplattices.
Here is my motivation: Given a set $X$. The powerset $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is a suplattice. …

Minkowski’s convex body theorem for ellipsoids
Minkowski's theorem states that if $K\subseteq\mathbb{Z}^n$ is a convex compact set, $K=-K$, and $\mathrm{volume}(K)\geq 2^n$, then $K$ contains a nonzero integral vector.
Can thi …

Area of a lattice polygon in terms of its width
Let $M$ be a lattice polygon on a plane (i.e. its vertices are integer points $(i,j)\in\mathbb Z^2$).
Let us define lattice width in a direction $v=(m,n)\in\mathbb Z^2$ as $w_v(M) …
