DESCRIPTION: If P is a  lattice polytope  (i.e.\, P is the convex hull of f
 initely many integer points in R^d)\, Ehrhart's famous theorem asserts that
  the integer-point counting function |mP∩Z^d| is a polynomial in the intege
 r variable m. Equivalently\, the generating function \sum_{m \ge 0} |mP∩Z^d
 | t^m is a rational function of the form h*(t)/(1-t)^{d+1}\; we call h*(t) 
 the  Ehrhart h* - polynomial  of P. We know several necessary conditions fo
 r h*-polynomials\, including results by Hibi\, Stanley\, and Stapledon\, wh
 o used an interplay of arithmetic (integer-point structure) and topological
  (local h-vectors of triangulations) data of a given polytope. We introduce
  an alternative  ansatz  to understand Ehrhart theory through the h*-polyno
 mial of the  boundary  of a polytope\, recovering all of the above results 
 and their extensions for rational polytopes in a unifying manner.    This i
 s joint work with Esme Bajo (UC Berkeley).
