Euclidean lattices are mathematical objects of increasing interest in the fields of cryptography and error-correcting codes. This doctoral thesis is a study on high-dimensional lattices with the motivation to understand how efficient they are in terms of b ...
We start this short note by introducing two remarkable mathematical objects: the E8E8 root lattice Lambda8Lambda8 in 8-dimensional Euclidean space and the Leech lattice Lambda24Lambda24 in 24-dimensional space. These two lattices stand out among their lat ...
The calculations performed for the design and operation of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) are a key factor for their safety analyses. The standard for the computational analysis of NPPs is the so called conventional approach, which relies on coarse mesh diffu ...
We characterize the irreducible polynomials that occur as the characteristic polynomial of an automorphism of an even unimodular lattice of a given signature, generalizing a theorem of Gross and McMullen. As part of the proof, we give a general criterion i ...
This data set provides a computer-assisted proof for the kernel inequalities needed to prove universal optimality in the paper "Universal optimality of the E_8 and Leech lattices and interpolation formulas" (by Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, and Viazovska ...
In a seminal work, Micciancio and Voulgaris (SIAM J Comput 42(3):1364-1391, 2013) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the closest vector problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given ...
In a seminal work, Micciancio & Voulgaris (2010) described a deterministic single-exponential time algorithm for the Closest Vector Problem (CVP) on lattices. It is based on the computation of the Voronoi cell of the given lattice and thus may need exponen ...
Lattice codes used under the compute-and-forward paradigm suggest an alternative strategy for the standard Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC): the receiver succes- sively decodes the integer linear combinations of the messages until it can invert and r ...

One fundamental problem of modern physics is the search for a theory of everything able to explain the nature of space-time, what matter is and how matter interacts. There are various propositions, as Grand Unified Theory, Quantum Gravity, Supersymmetry, S ...
Building on Viazovska’s recent solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, we prove that the Leech lattice is the densest packing of congruent spheres in twenty-four dimensions and that it is the unique optimal periodic packing. In particul ...
