Characteristic vectors of unimodular lattices which represent two
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Volume 19 (2007) no. 2, pp. 405-414.

We improve the known upper bound of the dimension n of an indecomposable unimodular lattice whose shadow has the third largest possible length, n-16.

On améliore un majorant connu pour la dimension n d’un réseau unimodulaire indécomposable dont la longuer de l’ombre prend la troisième plus grande valeur possible, n-16.
