Let \(K\) be an \(o\)-symmetric convex body in \(\mathbb{R}^p\) with distance function \(F\) and support function \(H\), satisfying smoothness assumptions. Let \(\kappa(s)= \sum e^{-sF(n)}\) \((\text{Re}(s)>0)\), \(\theta(s)=\sum e^{-\pi zF(n)^2}\) \((\text{Re}(z)>0)\), \(\zeta(s)=\sum 1/F(n)^s\) \((\text{Re}(s)>p)\), where \(n\) ranges over the integer lattice points (and \(n\neq 0\) in the case of \(\zeta(s)\)). Generalizing results of \textit{E. Hlawka} for \(\kappa\) and \(\zeta\) [Monatsh. Math. 54, 1-36, 81-99 (1950; Zbl 0036.30902) and ibid., 100-107 (1950; Zbl 0036.30903)] in the context of the Gaussian lattice point problem, the author shows the following: These functions may be continued analytically to \(\text{Re}(s)<0\), \(\text{Re}(z)<0\) and \(\text{Re}(s)<p\) and precise asymptotic formulae hold. If \(K\) is an ellipsoid, this is well known. The proofs of these non-trivial results rely heavily on the theory of convex bodies. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00042].
