The structure of a previously developed representation of the Leech lattice, $\Lambda_{24}$, is exposed to further light with this unified and very simple construction.
The integral octonions arise from the octonion XY-product. A parallel is shown to exist with the quaternion Z-product. Connections to the laminated lattices, $\Lambda_{4}$, $\Lambda_{8}$, $\Lambda_{16}$ and $\Lambda_{24}$ (Leech), are…
The two strictly projective tight 5-designs are the lines spanned by the short vectors of the Leech lattice and a set of points in the octonion projective plane that define a generalized hexagon of order (2,8). A previous paper introduced a…
In addition to the vertices of the regular hexagon and icosahedron, there are precisely two strictly projective tight 5-designs: one constructed from the short vectors of the Leech lattice and the other corresponding to a generalized…
I present here another example of a lattice fibration, a discrete version of the highest dimensional Hopf fibration: $S^{7}\longrightarrow S^{15} \longrightarrow S^{8}$.
This is an unpublished manuscript written in 1983-4. It contains several results about lattices (=integral quadratic forms) including the classification of the unimodular lattices in dimensions up to 25 and the construction of unimodular…
In this paper we study Jacobi forms associated with the Leech lattice $\Lambda$ which are invariant under the Conway group $\mathrm{Co}_0$. We determine and construct generators of modules of both weak and holomorphic Jacobi forms of…
We describe a remarkable rank fourtenn matrix factorization of the octic Spin(14)-invariant polynomial on either of its half-spin representations. We observe that this representation can be, in a suitable sense, identified with a tensor…
Let $\Lambda$ be any integral lattice in Euclidean space. It has been shown that for every integer $n>0$, there is a hypersphere that passes through exactly $n$ points of $\Lambda$. Using this result, we introduce new lattice invariants and…
We find 26 reflections in the automorphism group of the the Lorentzian Leech lattice L over Z[exp(2*pi*i/3)] that form the Coxeter diagram seen in the presentation of the bimonster. We prove that these 26 reflections generate the…
The contact polytope of a lattice is the convex hull of its shortest vectors. In this paper we classify the facets of the contact polytope of the Leech lattice up to symmetry. There are 1,197,362,269,604,214,277,200 many facets in 232…
Matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials were proposed in this paper, together with its quasideterminant expression. It is shown that the coefficients in four-term recurrence relation for matrix-valued Cauchy bi-orthogonal polynomials…
A gauge invariant Hamiltonian representation for SU(2) in terms of a spin network basis is introduced. The vectors of the spin network basis are independent and the electric part of the Hamiltonian is diagonal in this representation. The…
We examine the lattice generated by two pairs of supplementary vector subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space by intersection and sum, with the aim of applying the results to the study of representations admitting two pairs of…
We prove that the Leech lattice is the unique densest lattice in R^24. The proof combines human reasoning with computer verification of the properties of certain explicit polynomials. We furthermore prove that no sphere packing in R^24 can…
We propose the fundamental and two dimensional representation of the Lorentz groups on a (3+1)-dimensional hypercubic lattice, from which representations of higher dimensions can be constructed. For the unitary representation of the…
We interpret an open orbit in a 32-dimensional representation space of Spin(9,1) x SL(2,R) as a substitute for the non-existent group of invertible 2x2 matrices over the octonions and study various natural homogeneous subspaces. The…
We determine the orbits of fixed-point sublattices of the Leech lattice with respect to the action of the Conway group Co_0. There are 290 such orbits. Detailed information about these lattices, the corresponding coinvariant lattices, and…
We derive lattice invariants from the heat flux of a lattice. Using systems of harmonic polynomials, we obtain sums of products of spherical theta functions which give new invariants of integer lattices which are modular forms. In…
A periodic lattice in Euclidean 3-space is the infinite set of all integer linear combinations of basis vectors. Any lattice can be generated by infinitely many different bases. This ambiguity was only partially resolved, but standard…
