A fourth extremal even unimodular lattice of dimension 48

Number Theory 2014-01-03 v2

Abstract

We show that there is a unique extremal even unimodular lattice of dimension 48 which has an automorphism of order 5 of type 5-(8,16)-8. Since the three known extremal lattices do not admit such an automorphism, this provides a new example of an extremal even unimodular lattice in dimension 48.
