Abstract: For a given lattice polytope P in mathbbR3, consider the space mathcalLP of trivariate polynomials over a finite field mathbbFq, whose Newton polytopes are contained in P. We give an upper bound for the maximum number of mathbbFq-zeros of polynomials in mathcalLP in terms of the Minkowski length of P and q, the size of the field. Consequently, this produces lower bounds for the minimum distance of toric codes defined by evaluating elements of mathcalLP at the points of the algebraic torus (mathbbFq)3. Our approach is based on understanding factorizations of polynomials in mathcalLP with the largest possible number of non-unit factors. The related combinatorial result that we obtain is a description of Minkowski sums of lattice polytopes contained in P with the largest possible number of non-trivial summands.
