We prove that all Euclidean lattices of dimension $n\le 9$ which are generated by their minimal vectors, also possess a basis of minimal vectors. By providing a new counterexample, we show that this is not the case for all dimensions $n\ge…

Let $\mathbb{L}$ be a lattice in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ reduced in the sense of Korkine and Zolotareff and having a basis of the form $~(A_1,0,0,\cdots$ $,0),$ ~$(a_{2,1},A_2,0,\cdots,0),\cdots,$…

When $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is represented as a finite disjoint union of translated integer sublattices, the translated sublattices must possess some special properties. Such a representation is called a \emph{lattice tiling}. We develop a…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice of rank $n$. A Lie algebra on the lattice $\Lambda$ is a Lie algebra ${\cal L}=\oplus_{\lambda\in\Lambda}\,{\cal L}_{\lambda}$ such that $\dim\,{\cal L}_\lambda=1$ for all $\lambda$. In this article, we classify…

We present a theory of reduction of binary quadratic forms with coefficients in Z[lambda], where lambda is the minimal translation in a Hecke group. We generalize from the modular group Gamma(1) = SL(2,Z) to the Hecke groups and make…

A recent study of filtered deformations of (graded subalgebras of) the minimal five-dimensional Poincar\'e superalgebra resulted in two classes of maximally supersymmetric spacetimes. One class are the well-known maximally supersymmetric…

A periodic lattice in Euclidean space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…

Finding the shortest vectors in a lattice is an NP-hard problem, so low-dimensional results also play an essential role in lattice reduction theory. Using Ryskov's result for the admissible centerings and Tammela's result for determining…

We give a short proof of the fact that there are no measurable subsets of Euclidean space (in dimension d > 2), which, no matter how translated and rotated, always contain exactly one integer lattice point. In dimension d=2 (the original…

We investigate the definability (reducts) lattice of the order of integers and describe a sublattice generated by relations 'between', 'cycle', 'separation', 'neighbor', '1-codirection', 'order' and equality'. Some open questions are…

We consider Euclidean lattices spanned by images of algebraic conjugates of an algebraic number under Minkowski embedding, investigating their rank, properties of their automorphism groups and sets of minimal vectors. We are especially…

We study the problem of best approximations of a vector $\alpha\in{\mathbb R}^n$ by rational vectors of a lattice $\Lambda\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ whose common denominator is bounded. To this end we introduce successive minima for a periodic…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…

We construct several families of perfect sublattices with minimum $4$ of $\mathbb Z^d$. In particular, the number of $d-$dimensional perfect integral lattices with minimum $4$ grows faster than $d^k$ for every exponent $k$.

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite-dimensional associative algebra. The torsion classes of $mod\, \Lambda$ form a lattice under containment, denoted by $tors\, \Lambda$. In this paper, we characterize the cover relations in $tors\, \Lambda$ by…

The similar sublattices of a planar lattice can be classified via its multiplier ring. The latter is the ring of rational integers in the generic case, and an order in an imaginary quadratic field otherwise. Several classes of examples are…

We use Fourier methods to prove that if $n > 1$ translates of sublattices of $Z^d$ tile $Z^d$, and all the sublattices are Cartesian products of arithmetic progressions, then two of the tiles must be translates of each other. This is a…

For a real $N\ge 1$ and a vector $\xi =(1,\xi_1,...,\xi_n)$ define a matrix $$ {\cal A} (\xi, N) = ({array}{ccccc} N^{-1} & 0& 0& ... &0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_1 & -N^{\frac{1}{n}} & 0&... & 0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_2 &0& -N^{\frac{1}{n}}…

A lattice in Euclidean $d$-space is called well-rounded if it contains $d$ linearly independent vectors of minimal length. This class of lattices is important for various questions, including sphere packing or homology computations. The…

Let $\delta_0(P,k)$ denote the degree $k$ dilation of a point set $P$ in the domain of plane geometric spanners. If $\Lambda$ is the infinite square lattice, it is shown that $1+\sqrt{2} \leq \delta_0(\Lambda,3) \leq (3+2\sqrt2) \, 5^{-1/2}…
