Positive Polynomials Convex Integral Polytopes and a Random by David E. Handelman

By David E. Handelman

Emanating from the idea of C*-algebras and activities of tori theoren, the issues mentioned listed below are outgrowths of random stroll difficulties on lattices. An AGL (d,Z)-invariant (which is ordered commutative algebra) is received for lattice polytopes (compact convex polytopes in Euclidean area whose vertices lie in Zd), and likely algebraic homes of the algebra are relating to geometric homes of the polytope. There also are robust connections with convex research, Choquet idea, and mirrored image teams. This publication serves as either an advent to and a examine monograph at the many interconnections among those issues, that come up out of questions of the subsequent sort: enable f be a (Laurent) polynomial in different actual variables, and allow P be a (Laurent) polynomial with in simple terms confident coefficients; come to a decision less than what situations there exists an integer n such that Pnf itself additionally has basically confident coefficients. it really is meant to arrive and be of curiosity to a normal mathematical viewers in addition to experts within the components pointed out.

D − 1 . In this case we just count the solutions to 0 ≤ mk ≤ t − md ≤ t directly: once we pick the integer md (between 0 and t), we have t − md + 1 independent choices for each of the integers m1 , m2 , . . , md−1 . 3. This is, naturally, a polynomial in t. We now turn our attention to the number of interior lattice points in P: LP ◦ (t) = # (m1 , m2 , . . , md ) ∈ Zd : 0 < mk < t − md < t for all k = 1, 2, . . , d − 1 . 34 2 A Gallery of Discrete Volumes By a similar counting argument, t−2 t−1 LP ◦ (t) = d−1 md =1 (t − md − 1) k d−1 = = k=0 1 (Bd (t − 1) − Bd ) .
