Lattice Delone Simplices with Exponential Volume

In this short note we give a construction of an infinite series of Delone simplices whose relative volume grows exponentially with their dimension. This dramatically improves the previous best lower bound, which was linear.

An Introduction to Empty Lattice Simplices

We study simplices whose vertices lie on a lattice and have no other lattice points. Suchèmpty lattice simplices' come up in the theory of integer programming, and in some combi-natorial problems. They have been investigated in various contexts and under varying terminology Can thèemptiness' of lattice simplices bèwell-characterized' ? Is theirìattice-width' small ? Do the integer points of the...

Maximal integral simplices with no interior integer points

In this paper, we consider integral maximal lattice-free simplices. Such simplices have integer vertices and contain integer points in the relative interior of each of their facets, but no integer point is allowed in the full interior. In dimension three, we show that any integral maximal latticefree simplex is equivalent to one of seven simplices up to unimodular transformation. For higher dim...

Laplacians of Covering Complexes

The Laplace operator on a simplicial complex encodes information about the adjacencies between simplices. A relationship between simplicial complexes does not always translate to a relationship between their Laplacians. In this paper we look at the case of covering complexes. A covering of a simplicial complex is built from many copies of simplices of the original complex, maintaining the adjac...

On the Maximal Width of Empty Lattice Simplices

A k-dimensional lattice simplex σ ⊆ Rd is the convex hull of k + 1 affinely independent integer points. General lattice polytopes are obtained by taking convex hulls of arbitrary finite subsets of Zd . A lattice simplex or polytope is called empty if it intersects the lattice Zd only at its vertices. (Such polytopes are studied also under the names elementary and latticefree.) In dimensions d >...
