Abstract

For g=8,12,16g=8,12,16 and 2424, there is a nonzero alternating gg-multilinear form on the Leech{\rm Leech} lattice, unique up to a scalar, which is invariant by the orthogonal group of Leech{\rm Leech}. The harmonic Siegel theta series built from these alternating forms are Siegel modular cuspforms of weight 1313 for Sp2g(Z){\rm Sp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}). We prove that they are nonzero eigenforms, determine one of their Fourier coefficients, and give informations about their standard L{\rm L}-functions. These forms are interesting since, by a recent work of the authors, they are the only nonzero Siegel modular forms of weight 1313 for Sp2n(Z){\rm Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z}), for any n1n\geq 1.
