Let \(D\) be a convex planar domain such that the boundary is four times continuously differentiable with finite nonzero curvature throughout. Let \(A_D(t)\) be the number of lattice points in the blown up domain \(\sqrt t\) \(D\). For the remainder \(P_D(t) =A_D (t)-\text{area} (D)t\) the author proves the interesting estimate \[ \int^T_0 \bigl|P_D(t) \bigr |^7 dt \ll T^3 \log^4T. \] There is an important application of the result. Let \(B_D(t)\) be the number of primitive lattice points in \(\sqrt t\) \(D\). Then \textit{M. N. Huxley} and \textit{W. G. Nowak} [Acta Arith. 76, 271-283 (1996; Zbl 0861.11056)] showed that under the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis the asymptotic representation \[ B_D(t) ={6\over \pi^2} \text{ area} (D)t+ O (t^\lambda) \] holds with \(\lambda= {5\over 12} +\varepsilon\). The author improves this to \(\lambda ={9 \over 22}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00042].
