Pseudo-normalized Hecke eigenform and its application to extremal 2-modular lattices (Q2696065)

One can begin with authors' descriptions of presented research: ``It is shown that extremal \(2\)-modular lattices of ranks \(32\) and \(48\) are generated by their vectors of minimal norm. In the proof, we use certain properties of the difference of normalized Hecke eigenforms. We refer to them as the pseudo-normalized Hecke eigenform, the concept of which is introduced in this paper.'' In this paper, special attention is given to basic explanations of the used techniques, to theoretical backgrounds, and to a brief discuss on relations of known and presented results. Such notions as a lattice in \(\mathbb R^n\), the dual lattice, and \(l\)-modular lattices, as well as the pseudo-normalized Hecke eigenform of weight \(k\) for some group, the theta series of the lattice of \(\mathbb R^n\), etc., are described. In addition, the spherical \(t\)-designs are considered and basic properties of \(2\)-modular lattices are given with some investigations. The main theorem is proven with auxiliary explanations, given considerations of related known results, as well as with remarks and claims.
