Relative Ehrhart functions: eventual polynomiality, reciprocity law, and shifted duality

Classical Ehrhart theory measures the discrete capacity of a convex rational (or integral) polytope $P$ by counting the number of lattice points in the $t$-th dilate $tP$ of $P$. In this paper, we extend this paradigm by replacing a lattice point with a geometric object $Q$ of dimension at most $\dim P$. We show that t...
