โฆ Synopsis
The highest possible minimal norm of a unimodular lattice is determined in dimensions n 33. There are precisely five odd 32-dimensional lattices with the highest possible minimal norm (compared with more than 8.10 20 in dimension 33). Unimodular lattices with no roots exist if and only if n 23, n{25.

In this note, we construct a 39-dimensional optimal unimodular lattice with minimum norm 4 from a Euclidean-optimal self-dual code of length 39 over Z 4 . These are the first examples of a 39-dimensional unimodular lattice with minimum norm 4 and a self-dual Z 4 -code of length 39 with minimum Eucli
Any nonvoid lattice of subspaces from R" is known to be a complete lattice, and hence it has a largest and smallest element. Here we show that for a specific class of subspaces also the converse is true. If this class has a largest and a smallest element, then it is a complete lattice. Within the co
## Abstract Conditions for a matrix to be totally unimodular, due to Camion, are applied to extend and simplify proofs of other characterizations of total unimodularity.
