%N A383643 Number of n-dimensional additively indecomposable positive definite integral lattices (or quadratic forms).
%C A383643 A positive definite integral lattice (or quadratic form) is additively indecomposable if it cannot be written as a sum of two nonzero positive semidefinite integral lattices (or quadratic forms). Any additively indecomposable lattice is also (orthogonally) indecomposable, although the converse need not hold.
%C A383643 By computing all additively indecomposable lattices of determinant up to 100, Opgenorth gave the lower bounds a(10) >= 7 and a(11) >= 13. Eisenbarth showed the lower bounds a(12) >= 29, a(13) >= 9, a(14) >= 10, a(15) >= 9, and a(16) >= 5.

%F A383643 a(n) >= A380746(n).
%e A383643 For n <= 8, the only n-dimensional additively indecomposable positive definite lattices are Z (of dimension 1), E6 (of dimension 6), E7 (of dimension 7), and E8 (of dimension 8).
%e A383643 For n = 9, the a(9) = 2 additively indecomposable rank 9 positive definite lattices were computed by Opgenorth. These are the two lattices with Gram matrices:
