Abstract

We determine the maximum number Nα(d)N_\alpha(d) of equiangular lines with fixed angle arccosα\arccos\alpha for α=1/(1+22)\alpha = 1/(1+2\sqrt2) in dd-dimensional Euclidean space: 2,3,4,6,8,10,14,15,16,17,18,20,222,3,4,6,8,10,14,15,16,17,18,20,22 for d{2,,14}d \in \{2,\dots,14\}, and max(24,3(d1)/2)\max(24, \lfloor 3(d-1)/2 \rfloor) for d15d \ge 15. This appears to be the first complete determination of Nα(d)N_\alpha(d) in all dimensions dd for a fixed nontrivial α\alpha, since the work of Lemmens and Seidel for α=1/3\alpha = 1/3 in 1973.
