Conference matrices and unimodular lattices

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Conference matrices are used to define complex structures on real vector spaces. Certain lattices in these spaces become modules for rings of quadratic integers. Multiplication of these lattices by non-principal ideals yields simple constructions of further lattices including the Leech lattice.
