A note on Schwartz functions and modular forms

Number Theory 2019-05-09 v3

Abstract

We generalize the recent work of Viazovska by constructing infinite families of Schwartz functions, suitable for Cohn-Elkies style linear programming bounds, using quasi-modular and modular forms. In particular for dimensions d0(mod8)d \equiv 0 \pmod{8} we give the constructions that lead to the best sphere packing upper bounds via modular forms. In dimension 88 and 2424 these exactly match the functions constructed by Viazovska and Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, and Viazovska which resolved the sphere packing problem in those dimensions.
