Introduction to Lattice theory and its applications
A lattice is a free abelian group of finite rank together with an integral nondegenerate bilinear form. Lattices appear naturally in many mathematical areas including algebraic geometry, number theory and combinatorics. In this series of lectures, I will give an introduction to lattice theory and some of its applications.
