Abstract
A lattice polytope is free (or empty) if its vertices are the only lattice points it contains. In the context of valuation theory, Klain [ 16] proposed to study the functions $\alpha _i(P;n)$ that count the number of free polytopes in $nP$ with $i$ vertices. For $i=1$, this is the famous Ehrhart polynomial; for $i> 3$, the computation is likely impossible; and for $i=2,3$ it is computationally challenging.In this paper, we develop a theory of coprime Ehrhart functions that count lattice points with relatively prime coordinates and use it to compute $\alpha _2(P;n)$ for unimodular simplices. We show that the coprime Ehrhart function can be explicitly determined from the Ehrhart polynomial and we give some applications to combinatorial counting.

Coprime Ehrhart 理论和计数自由段

摘要
如果一个晶格多面体的顶点是它包含的唯一晶格点,则它是自由的(或空的)。在估值理论的背景下,Klain [16] 提出研究函数$\alpha_i(P;n)$,该函数计算$nP$ 中具有$i$ 顶点的自由多胞体的数量。对于 $i=1$,这是著名的 Ehrhart 多项式;对于$i> 3$,计算可能是不可能的;对于 $i=2,3$,它在计算上具有挑战性。在本文中,我们开发了互素 Ehrhart 函数的理论,该函数计算具有相对素数坐标的格点,并使用它来计算 $\alpha_2(P;n)$单模单纯形。我们证明了互质 Ehrhart 函数可以从 Ehrhart 多项式中明确地确定,并且我们给出了组合计数的一些应用。
