Generalized flatness constants, spanning lattice polytopes, and the Gromov width (2021)
Journal Article
Averkov, G., Hofscheier, J., & Nill, B. (2023). Generalized flatness constants, spanning lattice polytopes, and the Gromov width. manuscripta mathematica, 170(1-2), 147-165. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00229-021-01363-x

In this paper we motivate some new directions of research regarding the lattice width of convex bodies. We show that convex bodies of sufficiently large width contain a unimodular copy of a standard simplex. Following an argument of Eisenbrand and Sh...
