Abstract

In this paper, we propose a construction of lattices in dimension 8n via octonion orders over a totally real number field. To show the potential of this construction, we present rotated versions of $E_8$, $\Lambda_{16}$, the  densest known lattices in these dimensions and a lattice with the same density of the Barnes-Wall lattice in dimension 32. Perspectives applications of these lattices based on octonion algebras are in lattice-based cryptography and lattice coding for MIMO and MISO channels.
