On the Existence of Similar Sublattices
نویسنده
چکیده
Partial answers are given to two questions. When does a lattice Λ contain a sublattice Λ′ of index N that is geometrically similar to Λ? When is the sublattice “clean”, in the sense that the boundaries of the Voronoi cells for Λ′ do not intersect Λ?

Similar Sublattices of the Root Lattice a 4
Similar sublattices of the root lattice A4 are possible [9] for each index that is the square of a non-zero integer of the form m + mn − n. Here, we add a constructive approach, based on the arithmetic of the quaternion algebra H(Q( √ 5)) and the existence of a particular involution of the second kind, which also provides the actual sublattices and the number of different solutions for a given ...
متن کاملOn well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice
We produce an explicit parameterization of well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice in the plane, splitting them into similarity classes. We use this parameterization to study the number, the greatest minimal norm, and the highest signal-to-noise ratio of well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice of a fixed index. This investigation parallels earlier work by Bernstein, Sloane, ...

A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs). Furthermore, we count the number of well-rounded sublattices for several planar lattices and give their asymptotic behaviour.
متن کاملSimilar Sublattices of Planar Lattices
The similar sublattices of a planar lattice can be classified via its multiplier ring. The latter is the ring of rational integers in the generic case, and an order in an imaginary quadratic field otherwise. Several classes of examples are discussed, with special emphasis on concrete results. In particular, we derive Dirichlet series generating functions for the number of distinct similar subla...
متن کاملSimilar Sublattices and Coincidence Rotations of the Root Lattice A4 and Its Dual
A natural way to describe the Penrose tiling employs the projection method on the basis of the root lattice A4 or its dual. Properties of these lattices are thus related to properties of the Penrose tiling. Moreover, the root lattice A4 appears in various other contexts such as sphere packings, efficient coding schemes and lattice quantizers. Here, the lattice A4 is considered within the icosia...
