Abstract:
Characteristic elements have been useful in the classification of unimodular lattices over the integers. This article gives an explicit formula for characteristic elements of a lattice in terms of a basis for the lattice and the dual of that basis.Keywords: Quadratic space; Unimodular lattice; Dual basis; Gram matrix; Characteristic element
