On the integer points in a lattice polytope: n-fold Minkowski sum and boundary

Abstract: In this article we compare the set of integer points in the homothetic copy

n P i

of a lattice polytope

P i s u b s e t e q R^{d}

with the set of all sums

x_{1} + c d o t s + x_{n}

with

and

n i n N

. We give conditions on the polytope

P i

under which these two sets coincide and we discuss two notions of boundary for subsets of

or, more generally, subsets of a finitely generated discrete group.
