Symmetric groups and lattices. (English) Zbl 1132.11329

Summary: This paper deals with various problems in lattice theory involving local extrema. In particular, we construct infinite series of highly symmetric spherical 3-designs which include some of the examples constructed by J. Martinet and B. Venkov [in: Euclidean lattices, spherical designs and modular forms. On the works of Boris Venkov. Monogr. Enseign. Math. 37, 112–134 (2001; Zbl 1131.11344)] in dimensions 5 and 7. We also construct new types of dual-extreme lattices.
