On lattice extensions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A lattice Lambda is said to be an extension of a sublattice L of smaller rank if L is equal to the intersection of Lambda with the subspace spanned by L. The goal of this paper is to initiate a systematic study of the geometry of lattice extensions. We start by proving the existence of a small-determinant extension of a given lattice, and then look at successive minima and covering radius. To this end, we investigate extensions (within an ambient lattice) preserving the successive minima of the given lattice, as well as extensions preserving the covering radius. We also exhibit some interesting arithmetic properties of deep holes of planar lattices.
