Relation between positive roots of $E_8$ and $\mathbb{F}_2^8 \setminus \{0\}$

There exists an explicit bijection (due to Cayley, that has built up a very nice table to describe this) between the positive roots of the lattice $E_7$ and $\mathbb{F}_2^6 \setminus \{0\}$ (where $\...

Bound on the determinant of a quadratic form restricted to a subspace

Let $Q\colon \mathbb{Z}^{n}\oplus\mathbb{Z}^m\to\mathbb{R}$ be a real quadratic form, which we denote $Q(x,y)$, $x\in\mathbb{Z}^n$, $y\in\mathbb{Z}^m$. Suppose: The minimum of $Q(x,y)$ as $y$ varies ...

Given a positive-definite integral unimodular Gram matrix, how to find a basis of the associated lattice (over $\mathbf Q$)?

Let $G$ be a $n\times n-$symmetric matrix with integral coefficients and determinant $1$ (i.e. unimodular) such that the associated quadratic form is positive-definite. I am interested in having an ...
