Modular lattices from finite projective planes

Tathagata Basak (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Using the geometry of the projective plane over the finite field 𝔽 q , we construct a Hermitian Lorentzian lattice L q of dimension ( q 2 + q + 2 ) defined over a certain number ring 𝒪 that depends on q . We show that infinitely many of these lattices are p -modular, that is, p L q ' = L q , where p is some prime in 𝒪 such that | p | 2 = q .The Lorentzian lattices L q sometimes lead to construction of interesting positive definite lattices. In particular, if q 3 mod 4 is a rational prime such that ( q 2 + q + 1 ) is norm of some element in [ - q ] , then we find a 2 q ( q + 1 ) dimensional...
