06.10.2016Martin Widmer (Royal Holloway)Weakly admissible lattices, o-minimality, and Diophantine approximationWe present new estimates for the number of lattice points in sets such as aligned boxes which, in certain cases, improve on Skriganov's celebrated counting results. We establish a criterion under which our error term is sharp, and we provide examples in dimensions $2$ and $3$ using continued fractions. Moreover, we use o-minimality to describe large classes of sets to which our counting results apply. If time permits we also present a similar counting result for primitive lattice points, and apply the latter to the classical problem of Diophantine approximation with primitive points as studied by Chalk, Erd\H{o}s and others.
