Cayley orders
We improve the known upper bound of the dimension of an indecomposable unimodular lattice whose shadow has the third largest possible length, .
We give examples of failure of the existence of co-fibered products in the category of algebraic curves.
Several interesting lattices can be realised as ideal lattices over cyclotomic fields : some of the root lattices, the Coxeter-Todd lattice, the Leech lattice, etc. Many of these are modular in the sense of Quebbemann. The aim of the present paper is to determine the cyclotomic fields over which there exists a modular ideal lattice. We then study an especially simple class of lattices, the ideal lattices of trace type. The paper gives a complete list of modular ideal lattices of trace type defined...
