The point of this note is to prove that the secrecy function attains its maximum at y=1 on all known extremal even unimodular lattices. This is a special case of a conjecture by Belfiore and Sol\'e. Further, we will give a very simple…
We show that for every $\ell>1$, 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.…

In a recent paper, the authors introduced a lattice invariant called "Secrecy Gain" which measures the confusion experienced by a passive eavesdropper on the Gaussian Wiretap Channel. We study, here, the behavior of this invariant for…
It was proved by Nill that for any lattice simplex of dimension $d$ with degree $s$ which is not a lattice pyramid, the inequality $d+1 \leq 4s-1$ holds. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of lattice simplices satisfying the…
Consider the discrete maximal function acting on finitely supported functions on the integers, \[ \mathcal{C}_\Lambda f(n) := \sup_{\lambda \in \Lambda} | \sum_{p \in \pm \mathbb{P}} f(n-p) \log |p| \frac{e^{2\pi i \lambda p}}{p} |,\] where…
The research problem in this work is the relaxation of maximizing non-negative submodular plus modular with the entire real number domain as its value range over a family of down-closed sets. We seek a feasible point $\mathbf{x}^*$ in the…
In this paper, we prove Deligne's conjecture on the algebraicity of critical values of symmetric power $L$-functions associated to modular forms of weight greater than four. We also prove new cases of Blasius' conjecture on the algebraicity…
Recently, a design criterion depending on a lattice's volume and theta series, called the secrecy gain, was proposed to quantify the secrecy-goodness of the applied lattice code for the Gaussian wiretap channel. To address the secrecy gain…
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…
We prove Zimmer's conjecture for co-compact lattices in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$: for any co-compact lattice in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$, $n \geq 3$, any $\Gamma$-action on a compact manifold $M$ with dimension: (I) less than $2n-2$ if $n…

Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…
We show that on an $n=24m+8k$-dimensional even unimodular lattice, if the shortest vector length is $\geq 2m$, then as the number of vectors of length $2m$ decreases, the secrecy gain increases. We will also prove a similar result on…
Let $(L; \sqcap, \sqcup)$ be a finite lattice and let $n$ be a positive integer. A function $f : L^n \to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be submodular if $f(\tup{a} \sqcap \tup{b}) + f(\tup{a} \sqcup \tup{b}) \leq f(\tup{a}) + f(\tup{b})$ for all…
