Counting points on the E8 lattice with modular forms (theta functions) | #SoME2
In this video, I show a use of modular forms to answer a question about the E8 lattice. This video is meant to serve as an introduction to theta functions of lattices and to modular forms for those with some knowledge of vector spaces and series. -------------- References: (Paper on MIT) Poisson summation on lattices - https://math.mit.edu/~brubaker/Math78...

I'm excited to share this with you! Let me know if there are any mistakes I made in the video, and I will make note of them in this description. -------------- Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction 0:34 - Lattices 5:23 - Theta Functions 8:45 - Modular Forms 12:12 - Showing Modularity 15:12 - Spaces of Modular Forms 19:35 - Coefficients and Counting 21:25 - Conclusion
