Niemeier lattice code[1]
Description
One of the 24 positive-definite even unimodular lattices of rank 24.
Parent
- Unimodular lattice code — Niemeier lattice codes are even and unimodular.
Child
Cousins
- Self-dual linear code — Niemeier lattice codes can be constructed from ternary self-dual codes of length 24 [2].
- Quaternary linear code over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) — Niemeier lattice codes can be constructed from quaternary codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) via Construction \(A_4\) [3].
- Octacode — The octacode can be used to construct a Niemeier lattice code via Construction \(A_4\) [3].
