Extract

1. Let Jn be a sphere with volume V(Jn) in the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn. Let Λ be a lattice of determinant d(Λ) such that every point in Rn lies in one at least of the bodies obtained from Jn by applying to it all possible lattice translations. Then Λ is called a covering lattice for Jn and V(Jn)/d(Λ) is called the density of the lattice covering by Jn provided by Λ. The lower bound θn of V(Jn)/d(Λ) taken over all covering lattices Λ for Jn is called the density of the thinnest lattice covering by Jn.
