Abstract

In 1945-46, C. L. Siegel proved that an nn-dimensional lattice Λ\Lambda of determinant det(Λ){\rm det}(\Lambda ) has at most mn2m^{n^2} different sublattices of determinant mdet(Λ)m\cdot {\rm det}(\Lambda ). In 1997, the exact number of the different sublattices of index mm was determined by Baake. This paper presents a systematic treatment for counting the sublattices and deduces a formula for the number of the sublattice classes of determinant mdet(Λ)m\cdot {\rm det}(\Lambda ).
