Lattice points in bodies of revolution II

Abstract

In [3] it was shown that when a three-dimensional smooth convex body has rotational symmetry around a coordinate axis one can find better bounds for the lattice point discrepancy than what is known for more general convex bodies. To accomplish this, however, it was necessary to assume a non-vanishing condition on the third derivative of the generatrix. In this article we drop this condition, showing that the aforementioned bound holds for a wider family of revolution bodies, which includes those with analytic boundary. A novelty in our approach is that, besides the usual analytic methods, it requires studying some Diophantine properties of the Taylor coefficients of the phase on the Fourier transform side
