Abstract

We show that for every >1\ell>1, there is a counterexample to the \ell-modular secrecy function conjecture by Oggier, Sol\'e and Belfiore. These counterexamples all satisfy the modified conjecture by Ernvall-Hyt\"onen and Sethuraman. Furthermore, we provide a method to prove or disprove the modified conjecture for any given \ell-modular lattice rationally equivalent to a suitable amount of copies of ZZ\mathbb{Z}\oplus \sqrt{\ell}\,\mathbb{Z} with {3,5,7,11,23}\ell \in \{3,5,7,11,23\}. We also provide a variant of the method for strongly \ell-modular lattices when {6,14,15}\ell\in \{6,14,15\}.
