Abstract: We look at genera of even unimodular lattices of rank 12 over the ring of integers of mathbbQ(sqrt5) and of rank 8 over the ring of integers of mathbbQ(sqrt3), using Kneser neighbours to diagonalise spaces of scalar-valued algebraic modular forms. We conjecture most of the global Arthur parameters, and prove several of them using theta series, in the manner of Ikeda and Yamana. We find instances of congruences for non-parallel weight Hilbert modular forms. Turning to the genus of Hermitian lattices of rank 12 over the Eisenstein integers, even and unimodular over mathbbZ, we prove a conjecture of Hentschel, Krieg and Nebe, identifying a certain linear combination of theta series as an Hermitian Ikeda lift, and we prove that another is an Hermitian Miyawaki lift.


\textit{B. Venkov} and the reviewer [J. Reine Angew. Math. 531, 49--60 (2001; Zbl 0997.11039)] developed elementary linear algebra methods to compute Hecke eigenforms as formal linear combinations of isometry classes of lattices in the genus of 24-dimensional even unimodular lattices. With the help of an inner product and a multiplication on this space, they could determine most of the degrees of the corresponding Siegel modular forms. The remaining ones have been computed in the fundamental book [\textit{G. Chenevier} and \textit{J. Lannes}, Automorphic forms and even unimodular lattices. Kneser neighbors of Niemeier lattices. Translated by R. Erné. Cham: Springer (2019; Zbl 1430.11001)] using more sophisticated methods. The present paper continues in this spirit investigating Hilbert modular forms that arise as linear combinations of theta series of even unimodular lattices of rank \(\leq 12\) respectively \(\leq 8\) over the three real quadratic fields of discriminant \(5\) respectively \(8\) and \(12\). The authors also investigate degree questions for the two genera of Hermitian Eisenstein lattices of rank 12 that are either even unimodular of dimension \(24\) over \({\mathbb Z}\) or Hermitian unimodular over the Eisenstein integers. For all these genera the authors explicitly computed Kneser neighbouring operators for certain small prime ideals using Kirschmer's Magma library for lattices over number rings. These are self-adjoint operators whose eigenvalues are often rational, though some quadratic irrationalities arise, apparently unrelated to the ground field. Computing some coefficients of the Siegel theta series of these eigenvectors gives a hint on their degrees. The authors use clever arguments to prove almost all of these degrees and conjecture the corresponding global Arthur parameters.
