Found another proof.
  • I am looking for a reference on the following theorem, or an equivalent statement:
  • > Let $\Lambda$ be an embedding of a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module in $\mathbb{R}^d$. If the rank of $\Lambda$ is greater than $d$ then $\Lambda$ is not discrete.
  • A proof was given [here](https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4906281/seeking-an-elementry-theorem-about-lattices#comment10472910_4906281), which seems correct to me. However I'm ideally looking for a published source for the theorem.
  • I skimmed through the early chapters of [*An introduction to the geometry of numbers*](https://archive.org/details/springer_10.1007-978-3-642-62035-5) and [*Sphere packings, lattices, and groups*](https://archive.org/details/spherepackingsla0000conw_b8u0), the former seems more relevant to me, but I wasn't able to find a statement of the theorem in either.
