Notes on lattice points of zonotopes and lattice-face polytopes (Q533765)

Minkowski's second theorem on successive minima gives an upper bound on the volume of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. The authors study the problem to generalize Minkowski's bound by replacing the volume by the lattice point enumerator of a convex body. In this context the authors consider the bounds on the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomials of lattice polytopes via the successive minima. The results of the paper for lattice zonotopes and lattice-face polytopes imply, in particular, that for 0-symmetric lattice-face polytopes and lattice parallelepipeds the volume can be replaced by the lattice point enumerator.
