It is proved that the theta series of an even lattice whose level is a power of a prime $\ell$ is congruent modulo $\ell$ to an elliptic modular form of level~1. The proof uses arithmetic and algebraic properties of lattices rather than…
This work concerns representations of a finite flat group scheme $G$, defined over a noetherian commutative ring $R$. The focus is on lattices, namely, finitely generated $G$-modules that are projective as $R$-modules, and on the full…
We characterize supersolvable lattices in terms of a certain modular type relation. McNamara and Thomas earlier characterized this class of lattices as those graded lattices having a maximal chain that consists of left-modular elements. Our…
A lattice is called well-rounded if its minimal vectors span the corresponding Euclidean space. In this paper we completely describe well-rounded full-rank sublattices of ${\mathbb Z}^2$, as well as their determinant and minima sets. We…
In spherical symmetry with radial coordinate $r$, classical Newtonian gravitation supports circular orbits and, for $-1/r$ and $r^2$ potentials only, closed elliptical orbits [1]. Various families of elliptical orbits can be thought of as…
Modular lattices, introduced by R. Dedekind, are an important subvariety of lattices that includes all distributive lattices. Heitzig and Reinhold developed an algorithm to enumerate, up to isomorphism, all finite lattices up to size 18.…
We show that there are uncountably many countable lattices. We give a discussion of which such lattices can be modular or distributive. The method applies to show that certain other classes of structures also have uncountably many…
In section 1 we give an improved lower bound on Hermite's constant $\delta_{2g}$ for symplectic lattices in even dimensions ($g=2n$) by applying a mean-value argument from the geometry of numbers to a subset of symmetric lattices. Here we…
Let $n$ be an integer and $W_n$ be the Lambert $W$ function. Let $\log$ denote the natural logarithm so that $\delta=-W_n(-\log2)/\log2$. Given that $a$ and $r$ are respectively the first term and the constant ratio of an infinite geometric…
If $L$ is a finite lattice, we show that there is a natural topological lattice structure on the geometric realization of its order complex $\Delta(L)$ (definition recalled). Lattice-theoretically, the resulting object is a subdirect…
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 $k$.
We denote by Conc(L) the semilattice of all finitely generated congruences of a lattice L. For varieties (i.e., equational classes) V and W of lattices such that V is contained neither in W nor its dual, and such that every simple member of…
Using the geometry of the projective plane over the finite field F_q, we construct a Hermitian Lorentzian lattice L_q of dimension (q^2 + q + 2) defined over a certain number ring $\cO$ that depends on q. We show that infinitely many of…
Motivated by the study of the crossing number of graphs, it is shown that, for trees, the sum of the products of the degrees of the end-vertices of all edges has an upper bound in terms of the sum of all vertex degrees to the power of…
First, we calculate the Ehrhart polynomial associated to an arbitrary cube with integer coordinates for its vertices. Then, we use this result to derive relationships between the Ehrhart polynomials for regular lattice tetrahedrons and…
By median we mean a scheme that inputs three element of a lattice, and outputs an element that is an average of the three inputs in a certain sense. The medians of a given finite lattice form a new lattice that is usually larger than the…
We find two combinatorial identities on the theta series of the root lattices of the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras of type $D_{4n}$ and the cosets in their integral duals, in terms of the well-known Essenstein series $E_4(z)$ and…
In this paper, we study the Dirichlet series that enumerates proper equivalence classes of full-rank sublattices of a given quadratic lattice in a hyperbolic plane -- that is, a nondegenerate isotropic quadratic space of dimension $2$. We…
This article is the second part of an essay dedicated to lattices freely generated by posets within a variety. The first part dealt with four easy varieties while this part is concerned with finitely generated varieties. Here we present a…
We discuss an arithmetic approach to some congruence properties of Siegel theta series of even positive definite unimodular quadratic forms.
