In 2020, Lin and Yu claimed to prove the so-called Lemmens-Seidel conjecture for base size $5$. However, their proof has a gap, and in fact, some set of equiangular lines found by Greaves et al. in 2021 is a counterexample to one of their…

In this paper, we discuss maximality of Seidel matrices with a fixed largest eigenvalue. We present a classification of maximal Seidel matrices of largest eigenvalue $3$, which gives a classification of maximal equiangular lines in a…

We develop the theory of equiangular lines in Euclidean spaces. Our focus is on the question of when a Seidel matrix having precisely three distinct eigenvalues has a regular graph in its switching class. We make some progress towards an…

The absolute upper bound on the number of equiangular lines that can be found in $\mathbf{R}^d$ is $d(d+1)/2$. Examples of sets of lines that saturate this bound are only known to exist in dimensions $d=2,3,7$ or $23$. By considering the…

A set of lines through the origin in Euclidean space is called equiangular when any pair of lines from the set intersects with each other at a common angle. We study the maximum size of equiangular lines in Euclidean space and use graph…

We show that the maximum cardinality of an equiangular line system in 17 dimensions is 48, thereby solving a longstanding open problem. Furthermore, by giving an explicit construction, we improve the lower bound on the maximum cardinality…

A set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called equiangular if the angle between each pair of lines is the same. We address the question of determining the maximum size of equiangular line sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$, using semidefinite programming…

A set of vectors of equal norm in $\mathbb{C}^d$ represents equiangular lines if the magnitudes of the inner product of every pair of distinct vectors in the set are equal. The maximum size of such a set is $d^2$, and it is conjectured that…

We obtain several new results contributing to the theory of real equiangular line systems. Among other things, we present a new general lower bound on the maximum number of equiangular lines in d dimensional Euclidean space; we describe the…

In 2018, Sz\"{o}ll\H{o}si and \"{O}sterg\r{a}rd used a computer to enumerate sets of equiangular lines with common angle $\arccos(1/3)$ in dimension $7$. They observed that the numbers $\omega(n)$ of sets of $n$ equiangular lines with…

This thesis is a study of large sets of unit vectors in $\cx^n$ such that the absolute value of their standard inner products takes on only a small number of values. We begin with bounds: what is the maximal size of a set of lines with only…

A family of lines passing through the origin in an inner product space is said to be equiangular if every pair of lines defines the same angle. In 1973, Lemmens and Seidel raised what has since become a central question in the study of…

I introduce the problem of finding maximal sets of equiangular lines, in both its real and complex versions, attempting to write the treatment that I would have wanted when I first encountered the subject. Equiangular lines intersect in the…

For $e$ a positive integer, we find restrictions modulo $2^e$ on the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial $\chi_S(x)$ of a Seidel matrix $S$. We show that, for a Seidel matrix of order $n$ even (resp. odd), there are at most…

In this paper, claims by Lemmens and Seidel in 1973 about equiangular sets of lines with angle $1/5$ are proved by carefully analyzing pillar decompositions, with the aid of the uniqueness of two-graphs on $276$ vertices. The Neumann…
