Fluctuations of lattice zonotopes and polygons

Following Bárány et al. [3], who proved that large random lattice zonotopes converge to a deterministic shape in any dimension after rescaling, we establish a central limit theorem for finite-dimensional marginals of the boundary of the zonotope. In dimension 2, for large random convex lattice polygons contained in a square, we prove a Donsker-type theorem for the boundary fluctuations, which involves a two-dimensional Brownian bridge and a drift term that we identify as a random cubic curve.

Abstract

Following Bárány et al. [3], who proved that large random lattice zonotopes converge to a deterministic shape in any dimension after rescaling, we establish a central limit theorem for finite-dimensional marginals of the boundary of the zonotope. In dimension 2, for large random convex lattice polygons contained in a square, we prove a Donsker-type theorem for the boundary fluctuations, which involves a two-dimensional Brownian bridge and a drift term that we identify as a random cubic curve.
