Robert GriessAffiliation: University of Michigan Email: rlg@umich.edu Title Of Talk: Barnes-Wall Lattices and their Cousins Abstract: The series of Barnes-Wall lattices, of ranks $2^d$, are useful in providing context and tools for combinatorial situations, such as spherical codes and constructions of new families of lattices with moderately high minimum norms. The role of finite group theory here is significant. We shall discuss our recent work along these lines.
