Well-Rounded Twists of Ideal Lattices from Real Quadratic Fields

Abstract

We study ideal lattices in R2\mathbb{R}^2 coming from real quadratic fields, and give an explicit method for computing all well-rounded twists of any such ideal lattice. We apply this to ideal lattices coming from Markoff numbers to construct infinite families of non-equivalent planar lattices with good sphere-packing radius and good minimum product distance. We also provide a complete classification of all real quadratic fields such that the orthogonal lattice is the only well-rounded twist of the lattice corresponding to the ring of integers.
