Saturated sublattice

ID: saturated-sublattice

A subgroup of a finitely generated free abelian group is saturated if for a nonzero integer implies . Equivalently is torsion-free. It is then free abelian and the quotient map splits, so is a direct summand. Intersecting with a real linear subspace always gives a saturated sublattice.
