A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a Lie group $G$ such that $G/\Gamma$ has a finite volume relative to the (induced) $G$-invariant measure.
A lattice of dimension $n$ (or rank) $n$ in a vector space $V$ over $\mathbf R$ or $\mathbf C$ is a free Abelian subgroup in $V$ generated by $n$ linearly independent vectors over $\mathbf R$. A subgroup of the additive group of a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over $\mathbf R$ is discrete if and only if it is a lattice [1].
