Abstract

Let \Lb\Lb be a lattice in an nn-dimensional Euclidean space EE and let \Lb\Lb' be a Minkowskian sublattice of \Lb\Lb, that is, a sublattice having a basis made of representatives for the Minkowski successive minima of \Lb\Lb. We consider the set of possible quotients \Lb/\Lb\Lb/\Lb' which may exists in a given dimension or among not too large values of the index [\Lb:\Lb][\Lb:\Lb'], indeed [\Lb:\Lb]4[\Lb:\Lb']\le 4, or dimension n8n\le 8.
