Let Λ be the Leech lattice which is an even unimodular lattice with no vectors of squared length 2 in 24-dimensional Euclidean space R24. Then the Mathieu Group M24 is a subgroup of the automorphism group .0 of Λ and the action on Λ of M24 induces a natural permutation representation of M24 on an orthogonal basis For , let Λm be the sublattice of vectors invariant under m:
