Lattice in a Lie group
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A discrete subgroup 
of a Lie group 
such that 
has a finite volume relative to the (induced) 
-invariant measure.
A lattice of dimension 
(or rank) 
in a vector space 
over 
or 
is a free Abelian subgroup in 
generated by 
linearly independent vectors over 
. A subgroup of the additive group of a finite-dimensional vector space 
over 
is discrete if and only if it is a lattice [1].
