On the successive minima of arbitrary sets

Lattice Points in Large Borel Sets and Successive Minima

Let B be a Borel set in E with volume V (B) = ∞. It is shown that almost all lattices L in E contain infinitely many pairwise disjoint d-tuples, that is sets of d linearly independent points in B. A consequence of this result is the following: let S be a star body in E with V (S) = ∞. Then for almost all lattices L in E the successive minima λ1(S,L), . . . , λd(S,L) of S with respect to L are 0...

On successive minima of indefinite quadratic forms

Successive Minima and Radii

In this note we present inequalities relating the successive minima of a o-symmetric convex body and the successive inner and outer radii of the body. These inequalities build a bridge between known inequalities involving only either the successive minima or the successive radii.

Successive-Minima-Type Inequalities

We show analogues of Minkowski’s theorem on successive minima, where the volume is replaced by the lattice point enumerator. We further give analogous results to some recent theorems by Kannan and Lovász on covering minima.

Linear projections and successive minima

In arithmetic geometry, cohomology groups are not vector spaces as in classical algebraic geometry but rather euclidean lattices. As a consequence, to understand these groups we need to evaluate not only their rank, but also their successive minima, which are fundamental invariants in the geometry of numbers. The goal of this article is to perform this task for line bundles on projective curves...
