Enumeration and width of lattice polytopes by their number of lattice points

ABSTRACT: We study the enumeration of d-dimensional lattice polytopes with n lattice points, for fixed d and n>d. - We prove that in each dimension d there is a constant w(d) such that: for each n>d there exist only finitely many d-dimensional lattice polytopes with n lattice points and lattic...

Sumario:ABSTRACT: We study the enumeration of d-dimensional lattice polytopes with n lattice points, for fixed d and n>d. - We prove that in each dimension d there is a constant w(d) such that: for each n>d there exist only finitely many d-dimensional lattice polytopes with n lattice points and lattice width strictly larger than w(d). We show that w(4)=2. - In dimension 3 we develop an algorithm that enumerates the (finite) list of 3-dimensional lattice polytopes with n lattice points and lattice width strictly larger than 1, from the (finite) list of those with n-1 lattice points. We include codes that implement the algorithm in MATLAB, with which we have computed the lists of the polytopes with up to 11 lattice points.
