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:
“Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
“Sir Walter Raleigh might well be studied, if only for the excellence of his style, for he is remarkable in the midst of so many masters. There is a natural emphasis in his style, like a man’s tread, and a breathing space between the sentences, which the best of modern writing does not furnish. His chapters are like English parks, or say rather like a Western forest, where the larger growth keeps down the underwood, and one may ride on horseback through the openings.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
