On the Existence of Similar Sublattices

Partial answers are given to two questions. When does a lattice $\Lambda $ contain a sublattice ${\Lambda }'$ of index $N$ that is geometrically similar to $\Lambda $ ? When is the sublattice “clean”, in the sense that the boundaries of the Voronoi cells for ${\Lambda }'$ do not intersect...

Zusammenfassung:Partial answers are given to two questions. When does a lattice $\Lambda $ contain a sublattice ${\Lambda }'$ of index $N$ that is geometrically similar to $\Lambda $ ? When is the sublattice “clean”, in the sense that the boundaries of the Voronoi cells for ${\Lambda }'$ do not intersect $\Lambda $ ?
