Abstract: We consider connections between similar sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs), and more generally between similar submodules and coincidence site modules of general (free) $mathbbZ$-modules in $mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, we generalise results obtained by S. Glied and M. Baake [1,2] on similarity and coincidence isometries of lattices and certain lattice-like modules called $mathcalS$-modules. An important result is that the factor group $mathrmOS(M)/mathrmOC(M)$ is Abelian for arbitrary $mathbbZ$-modules $M$, where $mathrmOS(M)$ and $mathrmOC(M)$ are the groups of similar and coincidence isometries, respectively. In addition, we derive various relations between the indices of CSLs and their corresponding similar sublattices. [1] S. Glied, M. Baake, Similarity versus coincidence rotations of lattices, Z.
