The most interesting cases of stable lattices, introduced in an earlier volume of this journal (12), were the (algebraic) modules of stable norm, or modules whose ratio of minimum absolute non-zero norm to lattice determinant (i.e., to the square root of module-discriminant) is a local maximum for small variations of the basis. We soon found that these modules were perhaps more numerous than we should have desired if we were interested only in finding an absolute maximum.
