Abstract: We first show that the subgroup of the abelian real group mathbbR generated by the coordinates of a point in x=(x1,dots,xn)inmathbbRn completely classifies the mathsfGL(n,mathbbZ)-orbit of x. This yields a short proof of J.S.Dani's theorem: the mathsfGL(n,mathbbZ)-orbit of xinmathbbRn is dense iff xi/xjinmathbbRsetminusmathbbQ for some i,j=1,dots,n. We then classify mathsfGL(n,mathbbZ)-orbits of rational affine subspaces F of mathbbRn. We prove that the dimension of F together with the volume of a special parallelotope associated to F yields a complete classifier of the mathsfGL(n,mathbbZ)-orbit of F.


The authors show that the subgroup of the abelian real group \(\mathbb R\) generated by the coordinates of a point in \(\mathbb R^n\) classifies completely the GL\((n,\mathbb{Z})\)-orbit of this point.NEWLINENEWLINEThey also classify GL\((n,\mathbb{Z})\)-orbits of rational affine subspaces \(F\) of \(\mathbb R^n\): in fact, the authors prove that the dimension of \(F\) and the volume of a special parallelotope associated to \(F\) yields a complete classifier of the GL\((n,\mathbb{Z})\)-orbit of \(F\).
