\(2_{41}\) real polytope code

Description

An antipodal spherical \((8,2160,1/2)\) code whose codewords are the vertices of the second-smallest shell of the \(E_8\) lattice [1][2; Table 10.3].

Cousin

  • Witting polytope code— Vertices of the \(2_{41}\) polytope minimize a potential induced by the vertices of the \(4_{21}\) polytope [1].
