I am ashamed that no one of the textbooks on string theory take care to refer to the Leech lattice or to its (n+1,1) kin, even if only of a footnote when they use selfdual lorentzian lattices.
I wonder if it is ignorance or intentional misinformation. Because the singularity of the (25,1) self dual even lattice is a clasical, mostly grouptheoretical if you wish, result, and then they should be forced to ackowledge than their "critical dimension" is not exclusive of the realm of String Theory.
