Abstract

Given a polarization of an even unimodular lattice and integer k≥ 1, we define a family of unimodular lattices L(M,N,k). Of special interest are certain L(M,N,3) of rank 72. Their minimum norms lie in \4, 6, 8\. Norms 4 and 6 do occur. Consequently, 6 becomes the highest known minimum norm for rank 72 even unimodular lattices. We discuss how norm 8 might occur for such a L(M,N,3). We note a few L(M,N,k) in dimensions 96, 120 and 128 with moderately high minimum norms.
