Comments

Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).

E_8 is also the Barnes-Wall lattice in 8 dimensions.

Cubic AGM theta functions: a(q) (see A004016), b(q) (A005928), c(q) (A005882).

Ramanujan Lambert series: P(q) (see A006352), Q(q) (A004009), R(q) (A013973).

The E_8 lattice is integral, unimodular, and even. The 240 shortest nonzero vectors in the lattice have norm squared 2. Of these vectors, 128 are all half-integer, and 112 are all integer. - Michael Somos, Jun 10 2019
