Abstract

Given an integral lattice L and a hyperbolic decomposition of some quotient L/pL, there is a simple technique for obtaining other lattices of the same dimension and discriminant as L⊥ … ⊥L. When applied to the D4 and E8 root lattices, for example, this yields a new sphere packing in ℝ32, which is denser than those known up to now, and an extremal type II lattice in ℝ64.
