Abstract:
A lattice in is said to be equivalent to an integral lattice if there exists a real number such that the dot product of any pair of vectors in is an integer. We show that if and is equivalent to an integral lattice, then there is no measurable Steinhaus set for , a set which no matter how translated and rotated contains exactly one vector in .
