A Mordell Inequality for Lattices over Maximal Orders
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we prove an analogue of Mordell’s inequality for lattices in finite-dimensional complex or quaternionic Hermitian space that are modules over a maximal order in an imaginary quadratic number field or a totally definite rational quaternion algebra. This inequality implies that 16dimensional Barnes-Wall lattice has optimal density among all 16-dimensional lattices with Hurwitz structures.

On the Mordell-Gruber Spectrum
We investigate the Mordell constant of certain families of lattices, in particular, of lattices arising from totally real fields. We define the almost sure value κμ of the Mordell constant with respect to certain homogeneous measures on the space of lattices, and establish a strict inequality κμ1 < κμ2 when the μi are finite and supp(μ1) supp(μ2). In combination with known results regarding the...
متن کاملOn Mordell-Weil Lattices of Higher Genus Fibrations on Rational Surfaces
We will give an upper bound of Mordell-Weil rank r for relatively minimal brations of curves of genus g 1 on rational surfaces. Under the assumption that a bration is not locally trivial, we have r 4g+4. Moreover the maximal case (r = 4g + 4) will be studied in detail. We determine the structure of such brations and also the structure of their Mordell-Weil lattices introduced by Shioda.
متن کاملArithmetic E8 Lattices with Maximal Galois Action
We construct explicit examples of E8 lattices occurring in arithmetic for which the natural Galois action is equal to the full group of automorphisms of the lattice, i.e., the Weyl group of E8. In particular, we give explicit elliptic curves over Q(t) whose Mordell-Weil lattices are isomorphic to E8 and have maximal Galois action. Our main objects of study are del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 ove...

متن کاملRigid Lattices Are Mordell-weil
We say a lattice Λ is rigid if it its isometry group acts irreducibly on its ambient Euclidean space. We say Λ is Mordell-Weil if there exists an abelian variety A over a number field K such that A(K)/A(K)tor, regarded as a lattice by means of its height pairing, contains at least one copy of Λ. We prove that every rigid lattice is Mordell-Weil. In particular, we show that the Leech lattice can...
