Voronoi neighbors of Dn lattices
Voronoi neighbors of Dn lattices

Voronoi defined a tiling of the space of positive definite quadratic forms on Rn. Each tile is determined by a perfect lattice. Examples of perfect lattices include the root lattices An and Dn. We will focus on the tiles that are neighbors of a Dn tile. These are determined by some simple combinatorics, but there are exponentially many different Dn neighbors, and only a few families of them have been understood for all n. I will report on two recent results, one due to myself, and one joint work with Noam Elkies.
