A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).

The vertex arrangement of the 16-cell honeycomb is called the D 4 lattice or F 4 lattice. [2] The vertices of this lattice are the centers of the 3-spheres in the densest known packing of equal spheres in 4-space; [3] its kissing number is 24, which is also the same as the kissing number in R 4, as proved by Oleg Musin in 2003.
The complete subgroup lattice for D4, the dihedral group of the square. This is an example of a complete lattice. In mathematics, a complete lattice is a partially ordered set in which all subsets have both a supremum and an infimum ().
Bravais lattices, also referred to as space lattices, describe the geometric arrangement of the lattice points, [4] and therefore the translational symmetry of the crystal. The three dimensions of space afford 14 distinct Bravais lattices describing the translational symmetry.
Introduction to Lattices and Order is a mathematical textbook on order theory by Brian A. Davey and Hilary Priestley. It was published by the Cambridge University Press in their Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks series in 1990, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] with a second edition in 2002.
Since N 5 is a sublattice of S 7, it follows that the M-symmetric lattices do not form a subvariety of the variety of lattices. M-symmetry is not a self-dual notion. A dual modular pair is a pair which is modular in the dual lattice, and a lattice is called dually M-symmetric or M * -symmetric if its dual is M-symmetric.
Lattices are best thought of as discrete approximations of continuous groups (such as Lie groups). For example, it is intuitively clear that the subgroup of integer vectors "looks like" the real vector space in some sense, while both groups are essentially different: one is finitely generated and countable, while the other is not finitely generated and has the cardinality of the continuum.
