Spherical 2-Designs and Lattices from Abelian Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. The main result says that such a lattice is strongly eutactic, which means the normalized minimal vectors of the lattice form a spherical 2-design, if and only if the group is of odd order or if it is a power of the group of order 2. This result also yields a criterion for the appropriately normalized minimal vectors to constitute a uniform normalized tight frame.

A SHORT NOTE ON ATOMS AND COATOMS IN SUBGROUP LATTICES OF GROUPS
In this paper we give an elementary argument about the atoms and coatoms of the latticeof all subgroups of a group. It is proved that an abelian group of finite exponent is strongly coatomic.
متن کاملBoris Venkov’s Theory of Lattices and Spherical Designs
Boris Venkov passed away on November 10, 2011, just 5 days before his 77th birthday. His death overshadowed the conference “Diophantine methods, lattices, and arithmetic theory of quadratic forms” November 13-18, 2011, at the BIRS in Banff (Canada), where his important contributions to the theory of lattices, modular forms and spherical designs played a central role. This article gives a short ...
متن کاملSpherical Designs from 3 Norm Shell of Integral Lattices
A set of vectors all of which have a constant (non-zero) norm value in a Euclidean lattice is called a shell of the lattice. Venkov classified strongly perfect lattices of minimum 3 (Rèseuaux et “designs” sphérique, 2001), whose minimal shell is a spherical 5-design. This note considers the classification of integral lattices whose shells of norm 3 are 5-designs.

We set up a connection between the theory of spherical designs and the question of minima of Epstein’s zeta function. More precisely, we prove that a Euclidean lattice, all layers of which hold a 4-design, achieves a local minimum of the Epstein’s zeta function, at least at any real s > n 2 . We deduce from this a new proof of Sarnak and Strömbergsson’s theorem asserting that the root lattices ...
