A reverse Minkowski theorem

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We prove a conjecture due to Dadush, showing that if $$ is a lattice such that det$$ for all sublattices $$, then $$ where t := 10(log n+2). From this we derive bounds on the number of short lattice vectors, which can be viewed as a partial converse to Minkowski's celebrated first theorem. We also derive a bound on the covering radius.
