Abstract

This paper is dedicated to a lattice analog to the classical “sum of interior angles of a polygon theorem”. In 2008, the first formula expressing conditions on the geometric continued fractions for lattice angles of triangles was derived, while the cases of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:math> -gons for <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> <mml:mo>&gt;</mml:mo> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> remained unresolved. In this paper, we provide the complete solution for all integer <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:math> . The main results are based on recent advances in geometry of continued fractions.
