| Jan 30, 2013 at 13:44 | comment | added | Charles Matthews | WADR to Minkowski, the field should have been renamed "geometric number theory" in the 1950s. The part of geometric number theory that should be called "lattice theory" is not called that, because of overloading. Diophantine approximation is another rather questionable name of subdiscipline, but at least is named after a cluster of problems, rather than techniques or objects of study. The answers below suggest that some shifts of perspective are overdue. | |

| Jan 30, 2013 at 3:29 | comment | added | Jeff H | This is not new research in the geometry of numbers, but rather an application of classical results to another classical problem, that of determining primes of the form x^2+ny^2: tcnj.edu/~hagedorn/papers/… | |
| Jan 30, 2013 at 2:28 | comment | added | Chandan Singh Dalawat | By the way, an excellent historical account of the geometry of numbers can be found in the doctoral thesis of Sébastien Gauthier, written under the direction of Catherine Goldstein : La géométrie des nombres comme discipline (1890-1945) (math.univ-lyon1.fr/~gauthier/recherche.html). | |
