Arithmetic invariants of Euclidean lattice
Abstract
In this paper we study the arithmetic invariants of Euclidean lattice in the context of Arakelov geometry. We regard a Euclidean lattice as a hermitian vector bundle on and consider two typical arithmetic analogues of the dimension of the space of global sections of a vector bundle on an algebraic curve. One is where is the unit ball, and the other is where is the theta function of . In this paper, we shall prove the following three statements: (i) the fact that one can not reach an absolute Riemann-Roch theorem for is an instance of the Heissenberg uncertainty principle; (ii) the finiteness of equivalence classes in the genus of a positive quadratic form defined over is equivalent to the finiteness of certain isometry classes of hermitian vector bundles on , and it can be deduced from a finiteness theorem in Arakelov theory of ; (iii) for any smooth function on such that and that is a Schwartz function on , the Mellin transform of can be written as an integral over the Arakelov divisor class group of .
