The density of a lattice covering forn= 11 andn= 14

Publication:4469810





The author studies \(n\)-dimensional lattices \(\Gamma\) in Euclidean space \(E^n\). Let \(\eta(\Gamma)=4(\theta_n(\Gamma)/\Omega_n)^{2/n}\), where \(\theta_n(\Gamma)\) denotes the covering density for \(\Gamma\) and \(\Omega_n\) the volume of the \(n\)-dimensional unit ball. Then the author provides estimates for the absolute minimum \(\eta_n\) of \(\eta(\Gamma)\) for \(n=11, 14\). Let \(A^*_{11}\), \(A^*_{14}\) be the Voronoi principal lattices of the first type and \(A^4_{11}\), \(A^5_{14}\) be Coxeter lattices, then he proves: \[ \eta_{11}\leq\eta(A^4_{11})=4.875\dots<\eta(A^*_{11})=4.978\dots, \] \[ \eta_{14}\leq\eta(A^5_{14})=5.891\dots<\eta(A^*_{14})=6.040\dots. \]
