Square grid graph Triangular grid graph. In graph theory, a lattice graph, mesh graph, or grid graph is a graph whose drawing, embedded in some Euclidean space , forms a regular tiling. This implies that the group of bijective transformations that send the graph to itself is a lattice in the group-theoretical sense.
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.
Hasse diagram of the lattice of subgroups of the dihedral group Dih 4, with the subgroups represented by their cycle graphs In mathematics , the lattice of subgroups of a group G {\displaystyle G} is the lattice whose elements are the subgroups of G {\displaystyle G} , with the partial ordering being set inclusion .
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).
Generalising the example of the modular group a Fuchsian group is a group admitting a properly discontinuous action on the hyperbolic plane (equivalently, a discrete subgroup of ()). The hyperbolic plane is a δ {\displaystyle \delta } -hyperbolic space and hence the Svarc—Milnor lemma tells us that cocompact Fuchsian groups are hyperbolic.
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).

Group theory has three main historical sources: number theory, the theory of algebraic equations, and geometry.The number-theoretic strand was begun by Leonhard Euler, and developed by Gauss's work on modular arithmetic and additive and multiplicative groups related to quadratic fields.
