The purpose of this note is to record a few formulas relating the indices of various lattices and sublattices all arising from the decomposition of a euclidean space E into three mutually orthogonal subspaces E = E0E1E2 which are rational with respect to a given lattice Λ ⊂ E. In the case that Λ is unimodular these formulas simplify to give very simple identities between various intersection lattices.
