✦ Synopsis

Conference matrices are used to define complex structures on real vector spaces. Certain lattices in these spaces become modules for rings of quadratic integers. Multiplication of these lattices by nonprincipal ideals yields simple constructions of further lattices including the Leech lattice.

Let [A 1 , ..., A m ] be a set of m matrices of size n\_n over the field F such that A i # SL(n, F) for 1 i m and such that A i &A j # SL(n, F) for 1 i< j m. The largest integer m for which such a set exists is called the Parsons number for n and F, denoted m(n, F). We will call such a set of m(n, F

It is shown that an n-dimensional unimodular lattice has minimal norm at most 2[nΓ‚24]+2, unless n=23 when the bound must be increased by 1. This result was previously known only for even unimodular lattices. Quebbemann had extended the bound for even unimodular lattices to strongly N-modular even la
