Maximal-order uniqueness conjecture for maximal doubly even codes

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let C⊂F2nC\subset \mathbb{F}_2^n be a maximal doubly even binary code, and let I=(i0,i1,…,in−1)I=(i_0,i_1,\ldots,i_{n-1}). Consider the Clifford algebra Cn\mathbb{C}_n and the rational Clifford algebra ((−1)n−1Q)\left(\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{\mathbb{Q}}\right). Maximal-order uniqueness conjecture. For every maximal doubly even binary code C⊂F2nC\subset \mathbb{F}_2^n, there exists a unique maximal order OC⊂((−1)n−1Q)⊂Cn\mathcal{O}_C\subset \left(\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{\mathbb{Q}}\right)\subset \mathbb{C}_n containing the Clifford order such that

OC⊃Z[c⋅I2:c∈C].\mathcal{O}_C \supset \mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{c\cdot I}{2}:c\in C\right].

The assertion is false: the Hurwitz order provides a counterexample to the related claim that every order equals the algebra generated by its vector part, so the proposed uniqueness statement does not hold in the stated generality.
