Abstract: In this paper, we study shells of the D4 lattice with a slightly general concept of spherical t-designs due to Delsarte-Goethals-Seidel, namely, the spherical design of harmonic index T (spherical T-design for short) introduced by Delsarte-Seidel. We first observe that the 2m-shell of D4 is an antipodal spherical 10,4,2-design on the three dimensional sphere. We then prove that the 2-shell, which is the D4 root system, is tight 10,4,2-design, using the linear programming method. The uniqueness of the D4 root system as an antipodal spherical 10,4,2-design with 24 points is shown. We give two applications of the uniqueness: a decomposition of the shells of the D4 lattice in terms of orthogonal transformations of the D4 root system: and the uniqueness of the D4 lattice as an even integral lattice of level 2 in the four dimensional Euclidean space. We also reveal a connection between the harmonic strength of the shells of the D4 lattice and non-vanishing of the Fourier coefficient of a certain newforms of level 2. Motivated by this, congruence relations for the Fourier coefficients are discussed.
