On sublattice determinants in reduced bases
  We prove several inequalities on the determinants of sublattices in LLL-reduced bases. They generalize the inequalities on the length of the shortest vector proven by Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lovasz, and show that LLL-reduction finds not only a short vector, but more generally, sublattices with small determinants. We also prove new upper bounds on the product of the norms of the first few vectors.
