Streszczenie
This paper introduces and studies the Ehrhart spectrum of a set $E \subseteq \mathbb {Z}^r$, defined as the set of all Ehrhart polynomials of simplices with vertices in $E$, generalizing the notion of volume spectrum. We show that for any $E \subseteq \mathbb {Z}^r$ with positive upper Banach density, there is some $n \in \mathbb {Z}$ such that the Ehrhart spectrum of $n \mathbb {Z} ^r$ is contained in the Ehrhart spectrum of $E$, generalizing an earlier result by the first and third authors for the volume spectrum of $E$.
