Abstract.
Based on work of Miranda, Morrison and Nikulin, Shimada proposed an algorithmic approach to the following question: Given two integral lattices $A$ and $B$ compute the number of embeddings of $A$ into $B$ up to equivalence. A bottleneck in this approach is the computation of the orthogonal group $O(A^\vee / A)$ of the discriminant group $A^\vee / A$.
We present a formula for its order and give a small generating set.
