Abstract

We introduce the Ehrhart theory of algebraic cross-polytopes that undergo vector dilations, generalizing previous work of Borda on scalar dilations of algebraic cross-polytopes and Beck on vector dilations of rational simplices. In particular, for a given class of algebraic cross-polytopes and a dilation vector t dilating each facet, we show that the number of lattice points can be approximated by an explicitly given polynomial of t depending only on the polytope. As a result, we obtain a form of the Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity law for the leading term.
