Strongly perfect lattices sandwiched between Barnes-Wall lattices

Abstract: New series of

2^{2 m}

-dimensional universally strongly perfect lattices

L a m b d a_{I}

and

G a m m a_{J}

are constructed with

2BW_{2m} ^{#} subseteq Gamma _J subseteq BW_{2m} subseteq Lambda _I subseteq BW _{2m}^{#} .

The lattices are found by restricting the spin representations of the automorphism group of the Barnes-Wall lattice to its subgroup

. The group

{m a t h c a l U}_{m}

is the Clifford-Weil group associated to the Hermitian self-dual codes over

containing

, so the ring of polynomial invariants of

{m a t h c a l U}_{m}

is spanned by the genus-

m

complete weight enumerators of such codes. This allows us to show that all the

{m a t h c a l U}_{m}

invariant lattices are universally strongly perfect. We introduce a new construction,

D^{(c y c)}

for chains of (extended) cyclic codes to obtain (bounds on) the minimum of the new lattices.
