On integer points inside a randomly shifted polyhedron
Abstract
Consider a convex body $C \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. Let $X$ be a random point with uniform distribution in $[0,1]^d$. Define $X_C$ as the number of lattice points in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ inside the translated body $C + X$. It is well known that $\mathbb{E} X_C = \mathrm{vol}(C)$. A natural question arises: What can be said about the distribution of $X_C$ in general? In this work, we study this question when $C$ is a polyhedron with vertices at integer points.
