A lattice in is a discrete subgroup of which spans the 2n-dimensional real vector space . For example, the Gaussian integers form a lattice in C.

Every lattice in is a free abelian group of rank n; every lattice in is a free abelian group of rank 2n.

Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or space:

    The money complex is the demonic, and the demonic is God’s ape; the money complex is therefore the heir to and substitute for the religious complex, an attempt to find God in things.
    Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)

    Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
