Lecture

Extremal Lattices

Description

This lecture delves into extremal lattices, focusing on even unimodular lattices in RD. The instructor clarifies the data function, transformation rules, and the impossibility of odd multiple of four lattices. The discussion extends to modular forms, character definitions, and the uniqueness of extremal modular forms. The proof of Ziegel's theorem is presented, showcasing the bound on the shortest vector in extremal lattices. The lecture concludes with insights into sphere packings, density computations, and the finite existence of extremal even unimodular lattices in specific dimensions.
