The lattice point counting problem on the Heisenberg groups (Q5962668): Difference between revisions

On the Heisenberg group \({\mathsf{H}}_d=\mathbb{R}^{2d} \times \mathbb{R}=\mathbb{C}^d \times \mathbb{R}\), the (generalized) norms \(N_{\alpha,A}((z,t))=\left(|z|^\alpha+A|t|^{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{\alpha}}\) with \(\alpha,A > 0\) and the corresponding balls \(B_R^{\alpha,A}=\{(z,t) \in {\mathsf{H}}_d: N_{\alpha,A}((z,t)) \leq R\}\) of radius \(R>0\) are considered. The authors study \(\left|\#\left(\mathbb{Z}^{2d+1} \cap B_R^{\alpha,A}\right)-\left|B_R^{\alpha,A}\right|\right|\), which is the difference between the number of lattice points in \(B_R^{\alpha,A}\) and the Euclidean volume of \(B_R^{\alpha,A}\), and give upper estimates of that quantity asymptotic in \(R\). For the case \(\alpha=2\), the resulting asymptotic bound is \(R^{2d}\), which turns out to be sharp in all dimensions \(d\).
