Hexagonal Lattice Points on Circles
Abstract
We study the hexagonal lattice $\mathbb{Z}[ω]$, where $ω^6=1$. More specifically, we study the angular distribution of hexagonal lattice points on circles with a fixed radius. We prove that the angles are equidistributed on average, and suggest the possibility of constructing a consistent discrete velocity model (DVM) for the Boltzmann equation, using a hexagonal lattice. Equidistribution on average is expressed in terms of cancellation in exponential sums. We introduce Hecke L-functions and investigate their analytic properties in order to derive estimates on sums of Hecke characters. Using a version of the Halberstam-Richert inequality, these estimates then yield the desired results for the exponential sums. As a further measure of equidistribution, we give a bound for the discrepancy.
