The highest possible minimal norm of a unimodular lattice is determined in dimensions n <= 33. There are precisely five odd 32-dimensional lattices with the highest possible minimal norm (compared with more than 8*10^20 in dimension 33).…
In this paper, we construct odd unimodular lattices in dimensions n=36,37 having minimum norm 3 and 4s=n-16, where s is the minimum norm of the shadow. We also construct odd unimodular lattices in dimensions n=41,43,44 having minimum norm 4…
It is shown that an n-dimensional unimodular lattice has minimal norm at most 2[n/24] +2, unless n = 23 when the bound must be increased by 1. This result was previously known only for even unimodular lattices. Quebbemann had extended the…
We give a classification of the lattices of rank r=4, r=8 and r=12 over \Q(\sqrt{-3}), which are even and unimodular \Z-lattices. Using this classification we construct the associated theta series, which are Hermitian modular forms, and…
We will introduce a method to get all universal Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic fields over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-m})$ for all m. For each imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-m})$, we obtain a criterion on universality of…
In an earlier paper (math.NT/9906019) we showed that any integral unimodular lattice L of rank n which is not isometric with Z^n has a characteristic vector of norm at most n-8. [A "characteristic vector" of L is a vector w in L such that…
Given a polarization of an even unimodular lattice and integer $k\ge 1$, we define a family of unimodular lattices $L(M,N,k)$. Of special interest are certain $L(M,N,3)$ of rank 72. Their minimum norms lie in $\{4, 6, 8\}$. Norms 4 and 6 do…
In this article we prove that integral lattices with minimum <= 7 (or <= 9) whose set of minimal vectors form spherical 9-designs (or 11-designs respectively) are extremal, even and unimodular. We furthermore show that there does not exist…
Modular lattices, introduced by R. Dedekind, are an important subvariety of lattices that includes all distributive lattices. Heitzig and Reinhold developed an algorithm to enumerate, up to isomorphism, all finite lattices up to size 18.…
We define reflective modular forms on complex balls and use a method of Gritsenko and Hulek to show that some ball quotients of dimensions 3, 4 and 5 are uniruled. We give examples of Hermitian lattices over the rings of integers of…
For a positive integer $s$, a lattice $L$ is said to be $s$-integrable if $\sqrt{s}\cdot L$ is isometric to a sublattice of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ for some integer $n$. Conway and Sloane found two minimal non $2$-integrable lattices of rank $12$…
We review a lattice construction arising from quaternion algebras over number fields and use it to obtain some known extremal and densest lattices in dimensions 8 and 16. The benefit of using quaternion algebras over number fields is that…
We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…
For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattice $L$ in dimensions $12,16,20,28,32,36,40$ and $44$, we determine all integers $k$ such that $L$ contains a $k$-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I…
A lattice in the Euclidean space is standard if it has a basis consisting vectors whose norms equal to the length in its successive minima. In this paper, it is shown that with the $L^2$ norm all lattices of dimension $n$ are standard if…
A recent line of work on lattice codes for Gaussian wiretap channels introduced a new lattice invariant called secrecy gain as a code design criterion which captures the confusion that lattice coding produces at an eavesdropper. Following…
Using the geometry of the projective plane over the finite field F_q, we construct a Hermitian Lorentzian lattice L_q of dimension (q^2 + q + 2) defined over a certain number ring $\cO$ that depends on q. We show that infinitely many of…
If a convex body C has modular and irreducible face lattice (and is not strictly convex), there is a face-preserving homeomorphism from C to a section of a cone of hermitian matrices or C has dimension 8, 14 or 26.
We give classifications of integral lattices which include the Barnes-Wall lattice $BW_{16}$ or laminated lattices of dimension $1 \leqslant d \leqslant 8$ and of minimum 4. Also, we give certain lattice neighboring from each lattice.…
A distributive lattice $L$ with minimum element $0$ is called decomposable if $a$ and $b$ are not comparable elements in $L$ then there exist $\overline{a},\overline{b}\in L$ such that $a=\overline{a}\vee(a\wedge b),…
