New Sphere Packings from the Antipode Construction

Metric Geometry 2025-05-06 v1

Abstract

In this note, we construct non-lattice sphere packings in dimensions 1919, 2020, 2121, 2323, 4444, 4545, and 4747, demonstrating record densities that surpass all previously documented results in these dimensions. The construction involves applying the antipode method to suboptimal cross-sections of Λ24\Lambda_{24} and P48pP_{48p} respectively in those dimensions.
