1.1. Overview. This will be an introductory course on the geometry of numbers. We will mostly adopt a classical approach, but here is the highbrow way of describing the goal of the course. For G a reductive group over Q (or really over any global field), we want to understand the size and shape of G (R)/G (Z) (for G a suitably nice flat affine Z-group of finite type with generic fiber G ), or t...
