Intrinsic volumes and lattice points of crosspolytopes (Q1261140)

Hadwiger showed by computing the intrinsic volumes of a regular simplex that this is a counterexample to the referee's conjecture on the upper bound for the lattice point enumerator of convex bodies in dimensions \(\geq 441\). The authors determine the intrinsic volumes of the regular crosspolytopes which completes the determination of the intrinsic volumes for regular polytopes. As a consequence they show that the referee's conjecture does not hold even for dimensions \(\geq 207\). It remains open if the conjecture holds for dimensions \(\leq 206\).
