Extract

Let L be a lattice in euclidean n-space Rn of determinant d(L). A well-known problem in the geometry of numbers is whether

(1) if d(L) = l and there exists a sphere centred at the origin containing n linearly independent points of L on its boundary and none other than the origin inside, then any sphere in Rn of radius ½√ contains a point of L.
