    Odd unimodular lattices of minimum~4 (English)
    0 references
    \textit{J. H. Conway} and \textit{N. J. A. Sloane} [J. Number Theory 72, 357-362 (1998; Zbl 0917.11027)] have determined the largest minimum of an \(n\)-dimensional odd unimodular lattice up through \(n=33\). In particular they show that no minimum 4 lattice exists in dimension 33. This result is extended here to dimensions 34 and 35. In the proof the shadow of a lattice and theta series with spherical coefficients are used.
