Is the "Ramond sector" invariant of a 3-framed lattice always divisible by 24?

For the purposes of this question, a rank-$r$ (integral) lattice is a full-rank discrete subgroup $L \subset \mathbb R^r$ such that $\langle \ell, \ell' \rangle \in \mathbb Z$ for all $\ell \in L$. It ...

Are there Type III codes with small but nonzero "index"?

Recall that a Type III code of rank $r$ is a linear subspace $C \subset \mathbb F_3^r$ which is self-dual for the standard inner product. (These occur only when $r$ is divisible by $4$.) Elements of $...
