The stealthiest particle configurations in 8 and 24 dimensions

Alex Cohen, Henry Cohn, Maryna Viazovska

We show that the and Leech lattices generate the stealthiest isometry-invariant, locally square-integrable point processes of intensity in and $\mathbb{R}^…

Variations on five-dimensional sphere packings

Henry Cohn, Isaac Rajagopal

We analyze Szöllősi's recent construction of a conjecturally optimal five-dimensional kissing configuration and produce a new such configuration, the fourth to be discovered. We co…

Improved kissing numbers in seventeen through twenty-one dimensions

Henry Cohn, Anqi Li

We prove that the kissing numbers in 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 dimensions are at least 5730, 7654, 11692, 19448, and 29768, respectively. The previous records were set by Leech in 196…

From sphere packing to Fourier interpolation

Henry Cohn

Viazovska's solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions is based on a remarkable construction of certain special functions using modular forms. Great mathematics has…

Optimality of spherical codes via exact semidefinite programming bounds

Henry Cohn, David de Laat, Nando Leijenhorst

We show that the spectral embeddings of all known triangle-free strongly regular graphs are optimal spherical codes (the new cases are points in dimensions, points i…

The sphere packing problem in dimension 24

Henry Cohn, Abhinav Kumar, Stephen D. Miller +2

Building on Viazovska's recent solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, we prove that the Leech lattice is the densest packing of congruent spheres in twenty-fou…
