Quadratic Forms Which Have Only Large Zeros.
For a given lattice, we establish an equivalence between closed zones for the corresponding Voronoï polytope, suitable hyperplane sections of the corresponding Delaunay partition, and rank quadratic forms which are extreme rays for the corresponding -type domain.
Étant donnés un système de racines d’une des familles A, B, C, D, F, G et le groupe abélien libre qu’il engendre, on calcule explicitement la série de croissance de ce groupe relativement à Les résultats s’interprètent en termes du polynôme d’Ehrhart de l’enveloppe convexe de .
S-extremal strongly modular lattices maximize the minimum of the lattice and its shadow simultaneously. They are a direct generalization of the s-extremal unimodular lattices defined in [6]. If the minimum of the lattice is even, then the dimension of an s-extremal lattices can be bounded by the theory of modular forms. This shows that such lattices are also extremal and that there are only finitely many s-extremal strongly modular lattices of even minimum.
