Abstract

In a previous paper we showed that if one particular Fourier coefficient of the Siegel theta series of degree 4 for a 32-dimensional even unimodular extremal lattice is known then the other Fourier coefficients of the series are in principle determined. In this paper we choose the quaternary positive definite symmetric matrix \(\mathfrak {T}_{40}\), and calculate the Fourier coefficient \(a(\mathfrak {T}_{40},\mathcal{L}_{32})\) of the Siegel theta series of degree 4 associated with the five even unimodular extremal lattices which come from the five binary self-dual extremal [32,16,8] codes. As a result we can show that the five Siegel theta series of degree 4 associated with the five 32-dimensional even unimodular extremal lattices are distinct.
