1. Introduction
Let be a lattice, which is a free -module of finite rank with a positive definite symmetric bilinear form:
[TABLE]
The lattice is integral if for all , and furthermore is said to be even if for all . We denote by the dual lattice of :
[TABLE]
It is obvious by definition that if and only if is integral. The lattice is said to be unimodular when . An even unimodular lattice is also called a Type II lattice. It is well-known that the rank of a Type II lattice is a multiple of . We denote by the minimal norm of which is the minimum of norms for all . By the theory of modular forms, the minimal norm of an -dimensional Type II lattice satisfies
[TABLE]
and the lattice is said to be extremal when the equality holds. We regard an -dimensional lattice as being in with the canonical inner product, and write an element of as a row vector. Then for ,. A -frame is a subset of consisting of orthogonal -vectors:
[TABLE]
According to Theorem of [6], an even lattice with a -frame is constructed from a doubly even binary code, and by Theorem of [6] we see that an extremal doubly even self-dual binary code of length corresponds bijectively to a -dimensional extremal Type II lattice with a -frame. Then it was shown in [1] that the number of extremal doubly even self-dual binary codes of length is . Further by [5] all extremal doubly even self-dual binary codes of length are obtained as the residue codes of some extremal Type II codes over of the same length. As a result, we know that there are exactly extremal Type II lattices of rank with a -frame and they are constructed from extremal doubly even self-dual binary codes or some extremal Type II codes over of length . On the other hand, by [10] there are more than extremal Type II lattices of rank , whereas so many examples do not seem to be known: Mckay’s , the lattice in the website [7] (we simply denote this lattice by in this paper), and furthermore the lattices with a -frame e.g. three lattices , , in [8], the lattice constructed in [2] from a double circulant code over . Note that perhaps , may belong to the examples.
Recently in [12] an extremal Type II lattice of rank was constructed from a generalized quadratic residue code of length and the discriminant group of an even lattice of rank . In the same way, we shall construct a certain -dimensional lattice denoted by as an overlattice of the lattice with a Gram matrix
[TABLE]
where denotes the unit matrix of rank . Our results are as follows:
Theorem 1.1**.**
The lattice is a -dimensional extremal Type II lattice with no -frames.
Theorem 1.2**.**
The automorphism group of is of order , which is isomorphic to the semidirect product of additive groups and , where is the group homomorphism defined by
[TABLE]
The automorphism group of contains a subgroup of order (cf. [3, § of Chapter ]). The automorphism group of is of order , see [7]. Hence we have the following corollary:
Corollary 1.3**.**
The lattice is not isometric to any lattice of , and the extremal Type II lattices with a -frame.
In particular Corollary 1.3 implies that cannot be obtained from binary and some -codes by classical constructions, as mentioned above. We also have the following by examining the -vectors of :
Lemma 1.4**.**
The lattice contains
[TABLE]
as a sublattice, where denotes the lattice arising from scaling up the irreducible root lattice by and denotes orthogonal sum.
Let be the lattice with a Gram matrix given by (1). We denote by the lattice consisting of the vectors for all , . Then one has the following:
Theorem 1.5**.**
.
This implies that can be obtained by gluing to .
In the next section we construct from two generalized quadratic residue codes of length . In Section we investigate the types of the -vectors of and give a proof of Theorem 1.5. In Section we show that does not contain any -frames, proving that contains at most orthogonal -vectors (see Lemma 4.1). In Section we determine the automorphism group of by utilizing that has a basis consisting of -vectors. A Gram matrix of is presented as an appendix in Section . Results in this paper are based on calculations done by using GAP [13] and PARI/GP [14]. Those computational data files are available upon request addressed to the author.
The author would like to express his gratitude to Professor Ichiro Shimada who informed him of References [1], [5], [6] and [12], also advised him on this manuscript.
2. Construction
We construct a -dimensional extremal Type II lattice as an even overlattice of an even lattice using two generalized quadratic residue codes. As references on this section, the readers are recommended to see [4, in particular, Chapter ] and [12].
Let be the -dimensional even lattice with a Gram matrix
[TABLE]
and let be the -dimensional even lattice which is the orthogonal sum of copies of . Then a Gram matrix of is written as in (1). The discriminant group of , namely is an abelian group of order and which has a natural bilinear form
[TABLE]
and a quadratic form
[TABLE]
Let be a basis of with a Gram matrix
[TABLE]
Then can be written as
[TABLE]
We consider a subgroup of satisfying the conditions
- (i)
is totally isotropic, i.e. for all ,
and . 2. (ii)
, where denotes the cardinality of .
For , put . Then . It is easy to see that is even by (i) and also unimodular by (ii). We will give by utilizing a direct product of two generalized quadratic residue codes of length over and .
Let be a commutative ring with unity and let be the free -module which is the direct product of copies of . We give a numbering to the coordinates of , and identify a finite field with . Then a generalized quadratic residue code of length over with a parameter is a -submodule of generated by the vectors which are defined as follows:
[TABLE]
where denotes the Legendre character modulo .
Let be a generalized quadratic residue code of length over with some parameter, and let and be the row vectors of components which are the generators of and respectively, defined as above. We denote by the subgroup of generated by the direct product . Then one can replace (i) by
[TABLE]
Further (ii) is replaced by
- (ii’)
For a basis of , let be a -by- integral matrix such that
[TABLE]
Then , where is the determinant of .
We search a code satisfying (i’) and (ii’). Exploring by a computer one finds the code satisfying the conditions, which has a pair of parameters
[TABLE]
Then the matrix can be written as the form
[TABLE]
where and are -by- and -by- matrices respectively as follows:
[TABLE]
Applying for example ShortestVectors of GAP to , one can confirm within one minute that is extremal, i.e. . We denote by .
Remark 2.1**.**
Since a generalized quadratic residue code of length is invariant under the permutations of the coordinates of order and of order , the automorphism group has a subgroup of order which arises from , and the change of sign (cf. [12, Section ]).
3. Types of -vectors
Let be the set of the -vectors of . By the theory of modular forms (cf. e.g. [11, Chapter ]), one has . It follows immediately from that
[TABLE]
The type of is defined by
[TABLE]
By definition and for all . Using the function qfminim of PARI/GP, we obtain the list of the elements of . It turns out by direct calculation that types appear for the vectors of , and then we divide into subsets which each consist of vectors with the same type, see Table 3.1.
Similarly, for the -type of is defined by
[TABLE]
Actually the vectors of have possible -types where , and we divide into subsets which each consist of vectors with the same -type.
Further, for we compute the -type of defined by
[TABLE]
It turns out that the vectors of have the only -type, see Table 3.2.
This implies that is ultimately divided into subsets ’s by the types. We call an irreducible subset and an irreducible type from the fact. If has an irreducible subset with an irreducible type then contains a -frame. But we do not know whether the converse holds true. Therefore we count directly the numbers of orthogonal -vectors contained in in the next section.
Here vectors chosen appropriately from form a basis of the lattice described in Lemma 1.4, and thus .
Proof of Theorem 1.5.
Let be a basis of and let be the matrix such that
[TABLE]
where is the matrix given by (2). Further we take a basis of such that
[TABLE]
Then by computing one can easily verify that there is a unimodular matrix of rank such that
[TABLE]
This means that , where is a basis of . This completes the proof. ∎
Remark 3.1**.**
From the case where is of the lattices with Gram matrices
[TABLE]
we can actually obtain at least two extremal Type II lattices of rank . All those lattices, however, contain a -frame because the lattices have an irreducible subset with an irreducible type , and thus belong to the examples. One of those lattices has the -vectors of three types and the automorphism group of order at least .
4. Orthogonal -vectors
Let be the maximum of the numbers of orthogonal -vectors contained in . Then we prove the following lemma:
Lemma 4.1**.**
.
Proof.
For each let be a set of orthogonal -vectors containing such that is largest. By definition it is obvious that
[TABLE]
Since every automorphism of acts on and , one has
[TABLE]
where is the subgroup of described in Remark 2.1. By computing we have . Then is calculated as follows. For every we compute the set consisting of and all -vectors perpendicular to . We put if , otherwise put
[TABLE]
such that is largest. Then is the set consisting of orthogonal vectors , and all -vectors perpendicular to these vectors, and by definition
[TABLE]
If then we put . If not, repeating this procedure while one has for some , and then put . In Table 4.1 we give the number for and the number of such that .
One has by Table 4.1, and thus . ∎
By Lemma 4.1, does not contain any -frames, and thus a proof of Theorem 1.1 has been completed.
5. The automorphism group
A -dimensional extremal Type II lattice has a basis consisting of -vectors and -vectors, while there is the case where cannot have a basis consisting of only -vectors, see Theorem 1 and Remark 1 in [9]. Fortunately is not of the case:
Lemma 5.1**.**
The lattice has a basis consisting of -vectors.
Proof.
Let be the basis of given by the matrix of (2) and let be the Gram matrix with respect to . Applying the function LLLReducedGramMat of GAP to , one has a basis consisting of vectors of norm and vectors of norm . Then one can easily find by computing a basis consisting of -vectors containing those vectors. ∎
Actually we can take a basis of such that
[TABLE]
The Gram matrix with respect to is given in Section .
Let be the matrix such that
[TABLE]
Then one has
[TABLE]
Since each automorphism of is regarded as an element of fixing , one has
[TABLE]
Note that preserves the type of . Hence putting and , we see that each belong to the same irreducible subset with . Then we enumerate all the matrices satisfying the following conditions:
- •
Each row vector belongs to the same irreducible subset with and particularly belongs to a fixed complete set of representatives for , where by computing.
- •
.
Exploring on a computer, it is shown that there are exactly matrices , with these properties. Since acts transitively on each -orbit of , for every there is an element of such that or . Hence is obtained by adding and to . As a result, one has
[TABLE]
By direct calculation, one can verify that has the generators , of orders , respectively such that (cf. Section ). Hence contains the cyclic group of order as a normal subgroup. Further one has
[TABLE]
Therefore is isomorphic to the semidirect product of and . Regarding and as additive groups, this implies that there is the following isomorphism:
[TABLE]
where is the homomorphism given in Theorem 1.2, and thus the proof has been completed.
