 Integral lattice in a p-adic vector space

An integral lattice in a finite-dimensional ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$-vector space is a free ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$-submodule of full rank. Any two such lattices are commensurable: their intersection has finite index in each, because a sufficiently large power of $p$ multiplies either into the other. A finite group acting on the space admits invariant lattices by taking a sum of translates. This allows Herbrand quotient comparisons via finite quotient modules.
