The Lasserre hierarchy for equiangular lines with a fixed angle

Abstract

We compute the second and third levels of the Lasserre hierarchy for the spherical finite distance problem. A connection is used between invariants in representations of the orthogonal group and representations of the general linear group, which allows computations in high dimensions. We give new linear bounds on the maximum number of equiangular lines in dimension nn with common angle arccosα\arccos \alpha. These are obtained through asymptotic analysis in nn of the semidefinite programming bound given by the second level.
