Modular Lattices

A strongly N-modular lattice is an even lattice of even level N which is similar to all its partial dual lattices. Extremal strongly modular lattices are those lattices of square free level N with divisor sum dividing 24 for which the minimum is as high as the theory of modular forms allows it to be, for a precise definition see Quebbemann, H.-G. Atkin-Lehner eigenforms and strongly modular lattices. Enseign. Math. (2) 43 (1997).
