A note on an inverse problem for lattice points

Abstract: Let

K s u b s e t e q m a t h b b R^{2}

be a compact set such that

K + m a t h b b Z^{2} = m a t h b b R^{2}

. We prove, via Algebraic Topology, that the integer points of the difference set of

K

,

(K - K) c a p m a t h b b Z^{2}

, is not contained on the coordinate axes,

m a t h b b Z i m e s 0 c u p m a t h b b Z i m e s 0

. This result gives a negative answer to a question posed by P. Hegarty and M. Nathanson on relatively prime lattice points.
