Lattice polytopes in convex geometry (including relations with commutative algebra and algebraic geometry) (52B20) Lattices and convex bodies (number-theoretic aspects) (11H06)

Abstract: We show that: (1) unimodular simplices in a lattice 3-polytope cover a neighborhood of the boundary of the polytope if and only if the polytope is very ample, (2) the convex hull of lattice points in every ellipsoid in R^3 has a unimodular cover, and (3) for every d at least 5, there are ellipsoids in R^d, such that the convex hulls of the lattice points in these ellipsoids are not even normal. Part (3) answers a question of Bruns, Michalek, and the author.
