Automorphisms of extremal unimodular lattices in dimension 72

Abstract: Abstract. The paper narrows down the possible automorphisms of extremal even unimodular lattices of dimension 72. With extensive computations in Magma using the very sophisticated algorithm for computing class groups of algebraic number fields written by Steve Donnelly it is shown that the extremal even unimodular lattice Γ 72 from [17] is the unique extremal even unimodular lattice of dimension 72 that admits a large automorphism, where a d × d matrix is called large, if its minimal polynomial has an irreduci… Show more

“…One might of course try to improve by considering other lattices and their orbifolds. However, [Neb13] suggests that other extremal lattices, if they exist, have smaller automorphism groups; [Neb16] gives a similar result for Γ 72 . Using non-extremal lattices on the other hand introduces more light vectors coming from the short vectors of the lattice, which need to be eliminated by a powerful enough orbifold group.…”
