Let \(L=A\mathbb{Z}^3\) be a three-dimensional lattice with determinant \(d(L)=|\det A|=|\det(a_{ik}) |>0\) and consider the homogeneous minimum \[ \mu(L)= \inf \Biggl\{|\prod^3_{i=1} \biggl(\sum^3_{k=1} a_{ik}u_k\biggr)|: (u_1, u_2,u_3)\in \mathbb{Z}^3\setminus \{0\} \Biggr\}. \] Davenport and Swinnerton-Dyer found the absolute maximum and a sequence of isolated maxima in the spectrum of values of \(\mu(L)\). They are attained by certain lattices which are generated by totally real algebraic number fields. Continuing earlier work concerning the first three maxima and the associated extremal ternary cubic forms [\textit{A. D. Bryuno (Bruno)} and \textit{V. I. Parusnikov}, Mat. Zametki 56, No. 4, 9-27 (1994); translated in Math. Notes 56, No. 4, 994-1007 (1994; Zbl 0844.11047), \textit{N. I.
