On logarithmically small errors in the lattice point problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 November 2000
Abstract
In the present paper we give an improvement of a previous result of the paper [M. M. Skriganov. Ergodic theory on $SL(n)$, diophantine approximations and anomalies in the lattice point problem. Inv. Math.132(1), (1998), 1–72, Theorem 2.2] on logarithmically small errors in the lattice point problem for polyhedra. This improvement is based on an analysis of hidden symmetries of the problem generated by the Weyl group for $SL(n,\mathbb{B})$. Let $UP$ denote a rotation of a given compact polyhedron $P\subset\mathbb{B}^n$ by an orthogonal matrix $U\in SO(n)$, $tUP$ a dilation of $UP$ by a parameter $t>0$ and $N(tUP)$ the number of integer points $\gamma\in\mathbb{Z}^n$ which fall into the polyhedron $tUP$. We show that for almost all rotations $U$ (in the sense of the Haar measure on $SO(n)$) the following asymptotic formula \[ N(t\UP)=t^n{\rm vol} P+ O((\log t)^{n-1+\varepsilon}),\quad t\to\infty, \] holds with arbitrarily small $\varepsilon>0$.
