Abstract: We consider the well-known Rosenbloom-Tsfasman function field lattices in the special case of Hermitian function fields. We show that in this case the resulting lattices are generated by their minimal vectors, provide an estimate on the total number of minimal vectors, and derive properties of the automorphism groups of these lattices. Our study continues previous investigations of lattices coming from elliptic curves and finite Abelian groups. The lattices we are faced with here are more subtle than those considered previously, and the proofs of the main results require the replacement of the existing linear algebra approaches by deep results of Gerhard Hiss on the factorization of functions with particular divisor support into lines and their inverses.

Review text

This paper is dealing with the Rosenbloom-Tsfasman function field lattices, the lattices coming from elliptic curves and finite abelian groups. In the special case of Hermitian function fields, the authors show that the resulting lattices are generated by their minimal vectors. An estimate on the total number of minimal vectors is provided in this paper. Further, the authors study some properties of the automorphism groups of these lattices. The proofs of the main results are based on the factorization of functions with particular divisor support into lines and their inverses, which was established by \textit{G. Hiss} [Indag. Math., New Ser. 15, No. 2, 223--243 (2004; Zbl 1139.05308)].
