Lattices are certain discrete subgroups of Lie groups or, more generally, locally compact topological groups. Such a topological group G carries an invariant measure (for Lie groups, the volume form provides an invariant measure). A discrete subgroup \Gamma is a lattice, if there is a subset F of finite volume/measure in G whose \Gamma translates cover all of G. Being a lattice imposes some constraints on the structure an geometry of \Gamma.
The lecture will discuss several important examples in detail, such as arithmetically defined groups like SL_n(Z), which is a lattice SL_n(R).

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
