| contents | We consider Euclidean lattices spanned by images of algebraic conjugates of an algebraic number under Minkowski embedding, investigating their rank, properties of their automorphism groups and sets of minimal vectors. We are especially interested in situations when the resulting lattice is well-rounded. We show that this happens for large Pisot numbers of prime degree, demonstrating infinite families of such lattices. We also fully classify well-rounded lattices from algebraic conjugates in the 2-dimensional case and present various examples in the 3-dimensional case. Finally, we derive a determinant formula for the resulting lattice in the case when the minimal polynomial of an algebraic number has its Galois group of a particular type. |
