The piecewise quasi-polynomial conjecture for lattice tetrahedra by multi-width

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Tw1,w2,w3\mathcal{T}_{w_1,w_2,w_3} denote the set of lattice tetrahedra of multi-width (w1,w2,w3)(w_1,w_2,w_3), with

w3≥w2≥w1>0.w_3\geq w_2\geq w_1>0.

The multi-width tetrahedron counting conjecture. There is a piecewise quasi-polynomial with four components counting lattice tetrahedra of multi-width (w1,w2,w3)(w_1,w_2,w_3). There is one component for each combination of equalities among w3≥w2≥w1>0w_3\geq w_2\geq w_1>0. The leading coefficient when w3>w2>w1>0w_3>w_2>w_1>0 is twice the leading coefficient when w3=w2>w1>0w_3=w_2>w_1>0. For fixed w1w_1 and w2w_2, the value of ∣Tw1,w2,w3∣|\mathcal{T}_{w_1,w_2,w_3}| can take at most three values according as w3w_3 is odd, even, or equal to w2w_2. This is suggested by computed tables and by the preceding classifications, but remains unproved.
