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:
“The human mind is so complex and things are so tangled up with each other that, to explain a blade of straw, one would have to take to pieces an entire universe.... A definition is a sack of flour compressed into a thimble.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“I would have broke mine eye-strings, cracked them, but
To look upon him, till the diminution
Of space had pointed him sharp as my needle;
Nay, followed him till he had melted from
The smallness of a gnat to air, and then
Have turned mine eye and wept.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
