Discriminants and lattices in Algebraic geometry vs Geometry of numbers
(Post-writing, this question ended up being way more rambly than I intended. Sorry for that. There's a lot of closely related ideas I'm trying to unravel and it's hard to extract an individual ...

If a lattice can be embedded into $\mathbb Q^n,\langle-1\rangle^n$, then can it be embedded into $\mathbb Z^n,\langle -1 \rangle^n$?
Given a graph with negative integers on each vertex $\Gamma$ there is a corresponding intersection lattice denoted $Q_\Gamma$, a free $\mathbb Z$ module generated by the vertices, endowed with a ...

What is the lattice point distribution over binary quadratic forms?
Let $f(x,y)=x^2+ny^2$ be the binary quadratic form of interest and consider the lattice points $S=\{ (x,y,f(x,y)) \in \mathbb{N}^3 \}$.
For simplicity, we keep things only on quadrant I of the ...

Roots in indefinite lattice of K3 surfaces
Anyone who likes $K3$ surfaces cares about lattices of the form $$ (2d)\cdot y^2 - 2x \cdot z$$ (namely the mukai pairing on $H^*_{alg}(K3)$ of picard $1$ with polarization $d$).
Inside we have ...

Number of points in a ball in positive characteristic
Let $w_1,\cdots,w_n$ be of elements of $\Omega$, that is the completion of $\overline{\mathbb F_q\left(\left(\frac1T\right)\right)}$ for the topology induced by the $-\deg$ valuation.
Assume that $w_1,...

How do we know there are no more Deligne–Mostow/Thurston lattices?
In the context of hypergeometric functions, Deligne and Mostow enumerated several lattices in complex hyperbolic space/the rank 1 Lie group $\operatorname{PU}(1,n)$ (see [1] and [2]). Thurston used ...

has smooth rational curves.
This question is equivalent to the following question about integral quadratic lattices. Let us call a ...

A group in a neighbourhood of a Zariski dense subgroup
By Borel's theorem, lattices in simple Lie groups are Zariski dense. I expect that a small (in metric sense) deformation of a lattice in a Lie group is also Zariski dense.
Suppose we have a Zariski ...

Does a transitive action of $O(L^{\#}/L)$ imply a transitive action of $O(L)$ on $L^{\#}/L$?
Given an even lattice $L$ the orthogonal group $O(L)$ acts on the discriminant group $L^{\#}/L$ as is known. Hence, for every $\gamma \in O(L)$ there is a $\overline{\gamma}\in O(L^{\#}/L)$ that acts ...
