Lattice-width conjecture for lattice k-point tetrahedra

Let TT be a lattice tetrahedron with exactly kk interior lattice points. In a minimal direction for its lattice width, consider the consecutive lattice planes meeting TT. Lattice-width conjecture. The lattice width of TT is at most

k+1,k+1,

and there is at least one interior lattice point on each of the consecutive lattice planes in any minimal direction. The preceding theorem gives a general upper bound of order n1/3n^{1/3}, and the examples in the source show that width need not increase with the number of interior points; the conjectured bound and plane-by-plane interior-point condition remain open.
