In geometry and group theory, a lattice in the real coordinate space is an infinite set of points in this space with the properties that coordinate-wise addition or subtraction of two points in the lattice produces another lattice point, that the lattice points are all separated by some minimum distance, and that every point in the space is within some maximum distance of a lattice point.
Lattice-theoretic information about the lattice of subgroups can sometimes be used to infer information about the original group, an idea that goes back to the work of Øystein Ore (1937, 1938). For instance, as Ore proved , a group is locally cyclic if and only if its lattice of subgroups is distributive .
Let be a locally compact group and a discrete subgroup (this means that there exists a neighbourhood of the identity element of such that = {}).Then is called a lattice in if in addition there exists a Borel measure on the quotient space / which is finite (i.e. (/) < +) and -invariant (meaning that for any and any open subset / the equality () = is satisfied).

Lattice (group), a repeating arrangement of points Lattice (discrete subgroup), a discrete subgroup of a topological group whose quotient carries an invariant finite Borel measure; Lattice (module), a module over a ring that is embedded in a vector space over a field; Lattice graph, a graph that can be drawn within a repeating arrangement of points
Hasse diagram of the noncrossing partition lattice on a 4 element set. The leftmost maximal chain is a chief chain. A group is supersolvable if and only if its lattice of subgroups is supersolvable. A chief series of subgroups forms a chief chain in the lattice of subgroups. [3] The partition lattice of a finite set is supersolvable.
The degree of translation is then added as a subscript showing how far along the axis the translation is, as a portion of the parallel lattice vector. For example, 2 1 is a 180° (twofold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 2 of the lattice vector. 3 1 is a 120° (threefold) rotation followed by a translation of 1 / 3 of ...
In mathematical physics, a lattice model is a mathematical model of a physical system that is defined on a lattice, as opposed to a continuum, such as the continuum of space or spacetime. Lattice models originally occurred in the context of condensed matter physics, where the atoms of a crystal automatically form a lattice.
