Topic: Index of sublattice is determinant


Andrew Yang (Feb 20 2025 at 00:50):

Do we know that for lattices LLL \subseteq L' in Qn\mathbb{Q}^n with bases bb and bb',
[L:L][L' : L] is the determinant of the matrix sending bb to bb'?

I recall seeing something like that in the Bruhat--Tits repo

There is nothing directly about that in docs#ZLattice.covolume , but I think it should not be too hard to deduce from what we have since we have docs#Basis.SmithNormalForm already

@Andrew Yang , I think the result you want is here #22902

Xavier Roblot (Mar 15 2025 at 15:09):

And the follow up: #22940
