Abstract: A lattice polytope is called spanning if its lattice points affinely span the ambient lattice. We show as a corollary to a general result in the Ehrhart theory of lattice polytopes that the $h^{*}$-vector of a spanning lattice polytope has no gaps, i. e., $h_i^{\ast }=0$ implies $h_{i+1}^{\ast }=0$. This generalizes a recent result by Blekherman, Smith, and Velasco, and implies a polyhedral consequence of the Eisenbud-Goto conjecture. We also discuss how this relates to unimodality questions of lattice polytopes and previously achieved decomposition results on lattice polytopes of given degree.
