Let Λ be the Leech lattice which is an even unimodular lattice with no vectors of squared length 2 in 24-dimensional Euclidean space R24. Then the Mathieu Group M24 is a subgroup of the automorphism group .0 of Λ and the action on Λ of M24 induces a natural permutation representation of M24 on an orthogonal basis For , let Λm be the sublattice of vectors invariant under m:

This is a continuation of my previous papers [2], [3], [4] concerning to the monstrous moonshine.The automorphism group ·O of the Leech lattice L plays an important role in the study of moonshine. Especially it is important to study theta functions associated with quadratic sublattices of L consisting of fixed vectors of elements of ·O. In this paper, we discuss the properties that these functions are expected to satisfy in the relation to the monstrous moonshine.


We study the recently defined Leech roots, which have many remarkable properties. They are the fundamental roots for the even unimodular lattice in Lorentzian space R 25,1 , and correspond one for one with the points of the Leech lattice. The paper contains an extensive table of the Leech roots in both Euclidean and hyperbolic coordinates. We provide the first of what promise to be many applications by showing that the Leech roots simplify and explain the remarkable results of Vinberg and Kaplinskaja on the reflexion groups of unimodular Lorentzian lattices in dimensions below 20. They also enable us to make some progress on the study of these groups in the next few dimensions.

We explore whether a root lattice may be similar to the lattice [Formula: see text] of integers of a number field [Formula: see text] endowed with the inner product [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an involution of [Formula: see text]. We classify all pairs [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is similar to either an even root lattice or the root lattice [Formula: see text]. We also classify all pairs [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a root lattice. In addition to this, we show that [Formula: see text] is never similar to a positive-definite even unimodular lattice of rank [Formula: see text], in particular, [Formula: see text] is not similar to the Leech lattice. In Appendix B, we give a general cyclicity criterion for the primary components of the discriminant group of [Formula: see text].

Abstract We give a characterization of all those groups of isometric transformations of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space, for which an analogue of the classical Vitali theorem [Sul problema della misura dei gruppi di punti di una retta, 1905] holds true. This characterization is formulated in purely geometrical terms.

AbstractWe describe the geometry of an arrangement of 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. In Section 7 we apply our results to the even unimodular lattice E8 and show how the 600-cell transforms E8/2E8, an 8-space over the field F2, into a 4-space over F4 whose points, lines and planes are labeled by the geometric objects of the 600-cell.

ABSTRACTGeneral shift operators for angular momentum are obtained and applied to find closed expressions for some Wigner coefficients occurring in a transformation between two equivalent representations of the four-dimensional rotation group. The transformation gives rise to analytical relations between hyperspherical harmonics in a four-dimensional Euclidean space.

1. A type of problem which frequently occurs in probability theory and statistics can be formulated in the following way. We are given real-valued functions f(x), gi(x) (i = 1, 2, …, k) on a space (typically finite-dimensional Euclidean space). Then the problem is to set bounds for Ef(X), where X is a random variable taking values in , about which all we know is the values of Egi(X). For example, we might wish to set bounds for P(X > a), where X is a real random variable with some of its moments given.
