Lattices in Complex Space
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:
“We must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with the lives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and out of it.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
