Abstract
We have seen in Chapter 7 that the set of all lattices whose ring of multipliers is contained in a fixed maximal order is a monoid with respect to multiplication of lattices. In this chapter we study the algebraic structure of this monoid more closely. We also discuss the properties of the fields of fractions of quadratic orders.
