Let Γ ⊂ ℝs be a lattice obtained from a module in a totally real algebraic number field. Let ℛ(θ, N) be the error term in the lattice point problem for the parallelepiped [−θ1N1, θ1N1] × . . . × [−θs Ns, θs Ns]. In this paper, we prove that ℛ(θ, N)/σ(ℛ, N) has a Gaussian limiting distribution as N→∞, where θ = (θ1, . . . , θs) is a uniformly distributed random variable in [0, 1]s, N = N1 . . . . Ns and σ(ℛ, N) ≍ (log N)(s−1)/2. We obtain also a similar result for the low discrepancy sequence corresponding to Γ. The main tool is the S-unit theorem.
