Because of its importance in number theory and singularity theory, the problem of nding a polynomial sharp upper estimate of the number of positive integral points in an n- dimensional (n  3) polyhedron has received attention by a lot of mathematicians. S. S.-T. Yau proposed the upper estimate, so-called the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture. The previous results on the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture in low dimension cases (n  6) have been proved by using the sharp GLY conjecture. Unfortunately, it is only valid in low dimension. The Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture for n = 7 has been shown with a completely new method in [19]. In this paper, the similar method has been applied to prove the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture for n = 8, but with more meticulous analyses. The main method of proof is summing existing sharp upper bounds for the number of points in 7-dimensional simplexes over the cross sections of eight-dimensional simplex. This reasearch project paves the way for the proof of a fully general sharp upper bound for the number of lattice points in a simplex. It also moves the mathematical community one step closer towards proving the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture in full generality. As an application, we give a sharper estimate of the Dickman-De Bruijn function (x; y) for 5  y < 23, compared with the result obtained by Ennola.

First we prove a new inequality comparing uniformly the relative volume of a Borel subset with respect to any given complex euclidean ball$B$⊂$C$^{$n$}with its relative logarithmic capacity in$C$^{$n$}with respect to the same ball$B$. An analogous comparison inequality for Borel subsets of euclidean balls of any generic real subspace of$C$^{$n$}is also proved.

The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse. In this article, we consider a stronger notion of integrability, namely integrability close to the boundary, and prove a local version of this conjecture: a small perturbation of an ellipse of small eccentricity which preserves integrability near the boundary, is itself an ellipse. This extends the result in Avila et al. (Ann Math 184:527–558, ADK16), where integrability was assumed on a larger set. In particular, it shows that (local) integrability near the boundary implies global integrability. One of the crucial ideas in the proof consists in analyzing Taylor expansion of the corresponding action-angle coordinates with respect to the eccentricity parameter, deriving and studying higher order conditions for the preservation of integrable rational caustics.
