Barnes–Wall lattice

Barnes–Wall lattice

In mathematics, the Barnes–Wall lattice Λ16, discovered by harvtxt|Barnes|Wall|1959, is the 16-dimensional positive-definite even integral lattice of discriminant 28 with no norm-2 vectors. It is the sublattice of the Leech lattice fixed by a certain automorphism of order 2, and is similar to the Coxeter-Todd lattice.

The automorphism group of the Barnes-Wall lattice has order 89181388800 = 221 35 52 7 and has structure 21+8 PSO8+(F2).

The genus of the Barnes-Wall lattice was described by harvtxt|Scharlau|Venkov|1994 and contains 24 lattices; all the elements other than the Barnes-Wall lattice have root system of maximal rank 16.

The Barnes-Wall lattice is described in detail in harv|Conway|Sloane|1999|loc=section 4.10.
