- TL;DR Summary
- Lattices are studied in mathematics. What physicists call a "lattice theory" uses the mathematical object that is a lattice, but involves other things, such as associating elements of a group with the links between nodes of a lattice. Is there a mathematical term for the study of lattices with this additional structure?
