A discrete version of Koldobsky's slicing inequality (Q1686312): Difference between revisions

Let \(\#K\) be the number of integer lattice points in a set \(K\). It is shown that for each positive integer \(d\) there is a constant \(C(d)\) depending on \(d\) only, such that for any origin-symmetric convex body \(K\) in \({\mathbb R}^d\) containing \(d\) linearly independent lattice points, \[ \# K \leq C(d) \max (\#(K\cap H)) \;\text{vol}_d (K)^{(d-m)/d}, \] where the maximum is taken over \(m\)-dimensional subspaces of \({\mathbb R}^d\) and \(C(d)\) has the order \(O(1)^d d^{d-m}\) as \(d \to \infty\). It is also shown that if \(K\) is an unconditional convex body then \(C(d)\) can be chosen of order \(O(d)^{d-m}\). The problem amounts to the following question asked by Koldobsky in 2013: Let \({\mathbb Z}^d\) be the standard integer lattice in \({\mathbb R}^d\), \(\#K =\,\)card\((K\cap {\mathbb R}^d)\) be the number of points of \({\mathbb Z}^d\) in the origin-symmetric convex body \(K\), \({\mathbb S}^{d-1}\) be the unit sphere in \({\mathbb R}^d\). Given \(\xi \in {\mathbb S}^{d-1}\), \(\xi^\perp\) stands for the central hyperplane perpendicular to \(\xi\). Does there exist a constant \(L\) such that \[ \# K \leq L \max_{\xi \in S^{d-1}} (\#( K\cap \xi^\perp)) \, \text{vol}_d (K)^{1/d} \] for all origin-symmetric convex bodies \(K\) in \({\mathbb R}^d\) containing \(d\) linearly independent integer lattice points?
