dc.descriptionWe describe a pair of constructions of Eisenstein lattices from ternary codes, and a corresponding pair of constructions of conformal field theories from lattices which turn out to have a string theoretic interpretation. These are found to interconnect in a similar way to results for binary codes, which led to a generalisation of the triality structure relevant in the construction of the Monster module. We therefore make some comments regarding a series of constructions of $V^\natural$. In addition, we present a complete construction of the Niemeier lattices from ternary codes, which in view of the above analogies should prove to be of great importance in the problem of the classification of self-dual $c=24$ conformal field theories. Other progress towards this problem is summarised, and some comments arise from this discussion regarding the uniqueness of the Monster conformal field theory.
