We study certain lattices constructed from finite abelian groups. We show that such a lattice is eutactic, thereby confirming a conjecture by B\"ottcher, Eisenbarth, Fukshansky, Garcia, Maharaj. Our methods also yield simpler proofs of two…

We want to introduce a construction of spherical designs from finite graphs with the theory of crystal lattice. We start from a finite graph, and we consider standard realization of the crystal lattices as the maximal Abelian covering of…

This paper is devoted to the study of lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. Special species of such lattices arise in the exploration of elliptic curves over finite fields. In case the generating group is cyclic, they are also known…

We classify all spherical 2-designs that arise as orbits of finite group actions on real inner product spaces. Although it is well known that such designs can occur in representations without trivial components, we give a complete…

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…

We construct a nonuniform lattice and an infinite family of uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a hyperbolic building with all links a fixed finite building of rank 2 associated to a Chevalley group. We use complexes of groups and…

We describe and analyze a new construction that produces new Eulerian lattices from old ones. It specializes to a construction that produces new strongly regular cellular spheres (whose face lattices are Eulerian). The construction does not…

We set up a connection between the theory of spherical designs and the question of minima of Epstein's zeta function. More precisely, we prove that a Euclidean lattice, all layers of which hold a 4-design, achieves a local minimum of the…

We consider the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of the vectors of a unit tight equiangular $(k,n)$ frame and are interested in the question whether this set is a lattice, that is, a discrete additive subgroup of the…

We construct a $40$-dimensional extremal Type II lattice not having any subsets consisting of $40$ orthogonal minimal vectors, and determine the automorphism group. This lattice gives an example different from the $16470$ lattices…

A well known theorem of Voronoi caracterizes extreme quadratic forms and Euclidean lattices, that is those which are local maxima for the Hermite function, as perfect and eutactic. This caracterization has been extended in various cases,…

In the present paper we introduce and study a canonical ${\cal E}$-lattice structure on the set of element orders of some finite groups. We show that a finite abelian group is uniquely determined by this canonical ${\cal E}$-lattice.

We define a notion of vexillar design for the flag variety in the spirit of the spherical designs introduced by Delsarte, Goethals and Seidel. For a finite subgroup of the orthogonal group, we explain how conditions on the group have the…

A set of vectors all of which have a constant (non-zero) norm value in an Euclidean lattice is called a shell of the lattice. Venkov classified strongly perfect lattices of minimum 3 (R\'{e}seaux et "designs" sph\'{e}rique, 2001), whose…

We consider the question: When do two finite abelian groups have isomorphic lattices of characteristic subgroups? An explicit description of the characteristic subgroups of such groups enables us to give a complete answer to this question…

We study the connection between the theory of spherical designs and the question of extrema of the height function of lattices. More precisely, we show that a full-rank n-dimensional Euclidean lattice, all layers of which hold a spherical…

We show that real tight frames that generate lattices must be rational, and use this observation to describe a construction of lattices from vertex transitive graphs. In the case of irreducible group frames, we show that the corresponding…

We consider Euclidean lattices spanned by images of algebraic conjugates of an algebraic number under Minkowski embedding, investigating their rank, properties of their automorphism groups and sets of minimal vectors. We are especially…

We prove that every finitely-generated group of homeomorphisms of the 2-dimensional sphere all of whose elements have a finite order which is a power of 2 and so that there exists a uniform bound for the order of group elements is finite.…

The Abelian Sandpile Model, seen as a deterministic lattice automaton, on two-dimensional periodic graphs generates complex regular patterns displaying (fractal) self-similarity. In particular, on a variety of lattices and initial…
