We investigate the average number of lattice points within a ball for the $n$th cyclotomic number field, where the lattice is chosen at random from the set of unit determinant ideal lattices of the field. We show that this average is nearly identical to the average number of lattice points in a ball among all unit determinant random lattices of the same dimension. To establish this result, we apply the Hecke integration formula and subconvexity bounds on Dedekind zeta functions of cyclotomic fields. The symmetries arising from the roots of unity in an ideal lattice allow us to improve a lattice packing bound by Venkatesh, achieving an enhancement by a factor of 2.

We prove tight probabilistic bounds for the shortest vectors in module lattices over number fields using the results of arXiv:2308.15275. Moreover, establishing asymptotic formulae for counts of fixed rank matrices with algebraic integer entries and bounded Euclidean length, we prove an approximate Rogers integral formula for discrete sets of module lattices obtained from lifts of algebraic codes. This in turn implies that the moment estimates of arXiv:2308.15275 as well as the aforementioned bounds on the shortest vector also carry through for large enough discrete sets of module lattices., Comment: 21 pages

We examine the moments of the number of lattice points in a fixed ball of volume $V$ for lattices in Euclidean space which are modules over the ring of integers of a number field $K$. In particular, denoting by $\omega_K$ the number of roots of unity in $K$, we show that for lattices of large enough dimension the moments of the number of $\omega_K$-tuples of lattice points converge to those of a Poisson distribution of mean $V/\omega_K$. This extends work of Rogers for $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices. What is more, we show that this convergence can also be achieved by increasing the degree of the number field $K$ as long as $K$ varies within a set of number fields with uniform lower bounds on the absolute Weil height of non-torsion elements., Comment: 46 pages, 1 figure, incomplete tangential result in Section 2 was removed and treated in more detail in a separate paper, Appendix C was added

We obtain algorithmically effective versions of the dense lattice sphere packings constructed from orders in $\mathbb{Q}$-division rings by the first author. The lattices in question are lifts of suitable codes from prime characteristic to orders $\mathcal{O}$ in $\mathbb{Q}$-division rings and we prove a Minkowski--Hlawka type result for such lifts. Exploiting the additional symmetries under finite subgroups of units in $\mathcal{O}$, we show this leads to effective constructions of lattices approaching the best known lower bounds on the packing density $\Delta_n$ in a variety of new dimensions $n$. This unifies and extends a number of previous constructions.

In this article, we will show the existence of lattice packings in a sparse family of dimensions. This construction will be a generalisation of Venkatesh's lattice packing result. In our construction, we replace the appearance of the cyclotomic number field with a division algebra over the rational field. For this, we develop an analogue of Siegel's mean value theorem over lattices that have a prescribed set of symmetries given by a finite non-commutative group inside the multiplicative subgroup of a division algebra. This approach improves the best known lattice packing bounds in many dimensions.

In this short note, we give a localized version of the basic triangle theorem, first published in 2011 (see [4]) in order to prove the independence of hyperlogarithms over various function fields. This version provides direct access to rings of scalars and avoids the recourse to fraction fields as that of meromorphic functions for instance.
