Ternary Code Construction of Unimodular Lattices and Self-Dual Codes over <Subscript>6</Subscript>

چکیده
We revisit the construction method of even unimodular lattices using ternary self-dual codes given by the third author (M. Ozeki, in Théorie des nombres, J.-M. De Koninck and C. Levesque (Eds.) (Quebec, PQ, 1987), de Gruyter, Berlin, 1989, pp. 772–784), in order to apply the method to odd unimodular lattices and give some extremal (even and odd) unimodular lattices explicitly. In passing we correct an error on the condition for the minimum norm of the lattices of dimension a multiple of 12. As the results of our present research, extremal odd unimodular lattices in dimensions 44, 60 and 68 are constructed for the first time. It is shown that the unimodular lattices obtained by the method can be constructed from some self-dual Z6-codes. Then extremal self-dual Z6-codes of lengths 44, 48, 56, 60, 64 and 68 are constructed.

Isodual Codes over <Subscript>2<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis></Subscript> and Isodual Lattices
A code is called isodual if it is equivalent to its dual code, and a lattice is called isodual if it is isometric to its dual lattice. In this note, we investigate isodual codes over Z2k . These codes give rise to isodual lattices; in particular, we construct a 22-dimensional isodual lattice with minimum norm 3 and kissing number 2464.

In this paper, we study self-dual codes over the ring Z 2k of the integers modulo 2k with relationships to even unimodular lattices, modular forms, and invariant rings of 1 nite groups. We introduce Type II codes over Z 2k which are closely related to even unimodular lattices, as a remarkable class of self-dual codes and a generalization of binary Type II codes. A construction of even unimodula...

Ternary self-dual codes have been classified for lengths up to 20. At length 24, a classification of only extremal self-dual codes is known. In this paper, we give a complete classification of ternary self-dual codes of length 24 using the classification of 24-dimensional odd unimodular lattices.
متن کاملExtremal Self - Dual Codes over Z 6 , Z 8 and Z 10
In this paper, upper bounds on the minimum Euclidean weights of Type I codes over Z6 , and self-dual codes over Z8 and Z10 , are derived for modest lengths. The notion of extremality for Euclidean weights is also introduced. We construct new extremal self-dual codes over these rings. Most of these codes are obtained via the double circulant and quasitwisted constructions. New extremal odd unimo...
متن کاملClassification of ternary extremal self-dual codes of length 28
All 28-dimensional unimodular lattices with minimum norm 3 are known. Using this classification, we give a classification of ternary extremal self-dual codes of length 28. Up to equivalence, there are 6,931 such codes.
