In a recent breakthrough, Viazovska and Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, Viazovska solved the sphere packing problem in $\mathbb{R}^8$ and $\mathbb{R}^{24}$, respectively, by exhibiting explicit optimal functions, arising from the theory of…
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 $d \equiv 0…
The Cohn-Elkies linear program for sphere packing, which was used to solve the 8 and 24 dimensional cases, is conjectured to not be sharp in any other dimension $d>2$. By mapping feasible points of this infinite-dimensional linear program…
Building on Viazovska's recent solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, we prove that the Leech lattice is the densest packing of congruent spheres in twenty-four dimensions and that it is the unique optimal periodic…
We prove explicit stability estimates for the sphere packing problem in dimensions 8 and 24, showing that, in the lattice case, if a lattice is $\sim \varepsilon$ close to satisfying the optimal density, then it is, in a suitable sense,…
The present work surveys problems in $n$-dimensional space with $n$ large. Early development in the study of packing and covering in high dimensions was motivated by the geometry of numbers. Subsequent results, such as the discovery of the…
We give a unified description of the modular and quasi-modular functions used in Viazovska's proof of the best packing bounds in dimension 8 and the proof by Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, and Viazovska of the best packing bound in…
We investigate the relation between two different mathematical problems: the construction of bounds on sphere packing density using Cohn-Elkies functions and the construction of Gabor frames for signal analysis. In particular, we present a…
We give algebraic proofs of Viazovska and Cohn-Kumar-Miller-Radchenko-Viazovska's modular form inequalities for 8 and 24-dimensional optimal sphere packings.
The sphere packing problem asks for the greatest density of a packing of congruent balls in Euclidean space. The current best upper bound in all sufficiently high dimensions is due to Kabatiansky and Levenshtein in 1978. We revisit their…
In 2016, Viazovska famously solved the sphere packing problem in dimension $8$, using modular forms to construct a 'magic' function satisfying optimality conditions determined by Cohn and Elkies in 2003. In March 2024, Hariharan and…
This expository paper describes Viazovska's breakthrough solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, as well as its extension to twenty-four dimensions by Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, and Viazovska.
This review paper is devoted to the problems of sphere packings in 4 dimensions. The main goal is to find reasonable approaches for solutions to problems related to densest sphere packings in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. We consider two…
We develop an analogue for sphere packing of the linear programming bounds for error-correcting codes, and use it to prove upper bounds for the density of sphere packings, which are the best bounds known at least for dimensions 4 through…
We prove sphere packing density bounds in hyperbolic space (and more generally irreducible symmetric spaces of noncompact type), which were conjectured by Cohn and Zhao and generalize Euclidean bounds by Cohn and Elkies. We work within the…
We continue the study of the linear programming bounds for sphere packing introduced by Cohn and Elkies. We use theta series to give another proof of the principal theorem, and present some related results and conjectures.
Sphere packings in high dimensions interest mathematicians and physicists and have direct applications in communications theory. Remarkably, no one has been able to provide exponential improvement on a 100-year-old lower bound on the…
We study the sphere packing problem in Euclidean space where we impose additional constraints on the separations of the center points. We prove that any sphere packing in dimension $48$, with spheres of radii $r$, such that no two centers…
In 2008, Schmidt and Tuller stated a conjecture concerning optimal packing and covering of integers by translates of a given three-point set. In this note, we confirm their conjecture and relate it to several other problems in…
We prove that the $E_8$ root lattice and the Leech lattice are universally optimal among point configurations in Euclidean spaces of dimensions $8$ and $24$, respectively. In other words, they minimize energy for every potential function…
