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:
“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes. Sensations are the items of consciousness—a color, a weight, a texture—that we tend to think of as simple and single. Perceptions are complex affairs that embrace sensation together with other, associated or revived contents of the mind, including emotions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“It is not through space that I must seek my dignity, but through the management of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
