On distances in lattices from algebraic number fields

Number Theory 2017-03-08 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study a classical construction of lattices from number fields and obtain a series of new results about their minimum distance and other characteristics by introducing a new measure of algebraic numbers. In particular, we show that when the number fields have few complex embeddings, the minimum distances of these lattices can be computed exactly.
