The coefficients of the monomials

t r q j

are shown, along with their alternating sums

χ

(fixed

j

, alternation over

r

). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where

j -2 r = s + 1

j -2 r = s -1

, where

s =

-1 is the signature of L8a1. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
