Preface. The Leech lattice and other lattices

چکیده
The Leech lattice and other lattices. This is a corrected (1999) copy of my Ph.D. thesis. I have corrected several errors, added a few remarks about later work by various people that improves the results here, and missed out some of the more complicated diagrams and table 3. Most of chapter 2 was published as " The Leech lattice " , Proc. R. Soc. Lond A398 (365-376) 1985. The results of chapter 6 have been published as " Automorphism groups of Lorentzian lattices " , J.

Lattices like the Leech lattice
The Leech lattice has many strange properties, discovered by Conway, Parker, and Sloane. For example, it has covering radius √ 2, and the orbits of points at distance at least √ 2 from all lattice points correspond to the Niemeier lattices other than the Leech lattice. (See Conway and Sloane [6, Chaps. 22-28].) Most of the properties of the Leech lattice follow from the fact that it is the Dynk...
متن کاملThe E 8 - lattice , the Leech lattice and beyond
In this elementary talk, we introduce basics about rational lattices and give examples. Some lattices are really good ones, notably the E8-lattice in dimension 8 and the Leech lattice in dimension 24. Both have remarkable finite isometry groups and give sphere packings of remarkably high minimum norms and high packing densities. Generalizations to higher dimensions have been considered, for exa...
متن کاملLocal Covering Optimality of Lattices : Leech Lattice versus Root Lattice E 8
The Leech lattice is the exceptional lattice in dimension 24. Soon after its discovery by Leech [9], it was conjectured that it is extremal for several geometric problems in R: the kissing number problem, the sphere packing problem, and the sphere covering problem. In 1979, Odlyzko and Sloane and independently Levenshtein solved the kissing number problem in dimension 24 by showing that the Lee...
متن کاملSelf-Dual Codes over Z4 and Unimodular Lattices: A Survey
By using Construction A modulo 4 the following remarkable unimodular lattices have been constructed: the Gosset lattice E8, the Leech lattice, the 23 Niemeier lattices in dimension 24, the two extremal even unimodular lattices in dimension 32 with an automorphism of order 31, all the extremal unimodular lattices and the odd Leech lattice. In this survey, we review basic facts of life in the Z4 ...
متن کاملAn equivalence functor between local vector lattices and vector lattices
We call a local vector lattice any vector lattice with a distinguished positive strong unit and having exactly one maximal ideal (its radical). We provide a short study of local vector lattices. In this regards, some characterizations of local vector lattices are given. For instance, we prove that a vector lattice with a distinguished strong unit is local if and only if it is clean with non no-...
