Lattices in a split solvable Lie group
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 1997
Abstract
Given a Lie group, it is often useful to have a parametrization of the set of its lattices. In Euclidean space ℝn, for example, each lattice corresponds to a basis, and any lattice is equivalent to the standard integer lattice under an automorphism in GL(n, ℝ). In the nilpotent case, the lattices of the Heisenberg groups are classified, up to automorphisms, by certain sequences of positive integers with divisibility conditions (see [1]). In this paper we will study the set of lattices in a class of simply connected, solvable, but not nilpotent groups G. The construction of G depends on a diagonal n×n matrix Δ with distinct non-zero eigenvalues, of trace 0; we will write
