E8 lattice

In mathematics, the E8 lattice is a special lattice in R8. It can be characterized as the unique positive-definite, even, unimodular lattice of rank 8. The name derives from the fact that it is the root lattice of the E8 root system. The norm of the E8 lattice (divided by 2) is a positive definite even unimodular quadratic form in 8 variables, and conversely such a quadratic form can be used to construct a positive-definite, even, unimodular lattice of rank 8.The existence of such a form was first shown by H. J. S. Smith in 1867, and the first explicit construction of this quadratic form was given by Korkin and Zolotarev in 1873.The E8 lattice is also called the Gosset lattice after Thorold Gosset who was one of the first to study the geometry of the lattice itself around 1900.

Counting points on the E8 lattice with modular forms (theta functions) | #SoME2

In this video, I show a use of modular forms to answer a question about the E8 lattice. This video is meant to serve as an introduction to theta functions of lattices and to modular forms for those with some knowledge of vector spaces and series. -------------- References: (Paper on MIT

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors

Sphere packings in 8 dimensions (after Maryna Viazovska)

The is a math talk about the best possible sphere packing in 8 dimensions. It was an open problem for many years to show that the best 8-dimensional sphere packing is given by the E8 lattice. We describe the solution to this found by Maryna Viazovska, building on work of Henry Cohn and Noa

Complex surfaces 3: Rational surfaces

We give an informal survey of some complex rational surfaces. We first lift a few examples: hypersurfaces of degree at most 3, and the Hirzebruch surfaces which are P1 bundles over P1. Then we discuss the surfaces obtained by blowing up points in the plane in more detail. We sketch how to
