Geometric number theory

The title of this article is ambiguous. For (modern) algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry, see number theory .

The geometric number theory is a branch of number theory , in turn, a discipline of mathematics is.

At the center of the geometric number theory, also called the geometry of numbers , is the Minkowski lattice point theorem, a statement about lattices and convex sets. Closest packing issues of spheres are also addressed.
