Asymptotic distribution of the zeros of the Ehrhart polynomial of the cross-polytope

Abstract: We use the method of steepest descents to study the root distribution of the Ehrhart polynomial of the

d

-dimensional cross-polytope, namely

m a t h c a l L_{d}

, as

d i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

. We prove that the distribution function of the roots, approximately, as

d

grows, by variation of argument of the generating function

s u m_{m g e q 0} m a t h c a l L_{d} (m) t^{m + x - 1} = (1 + t)^{d} (1 - t)^{- d - 1} t^{x - 1}

, as

t

varies appropriately on the segment of the imaginary line contained inside the unit disk.
