The Nonexistence of Certain Tight Spherical Designs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the nonexistence of tight spherical designs is shown in some cases left open to date. Tight spherical 5-designs may exist in dimension n = (2m + 1)2 − 2, and the existence is known only for m = 1, 2. In the paper, the existence is ruled out under a certain arithmetic condition on the integer m, satisfied by infinitely many values of m, including m = 4. Also, nonexistence is shown for m = 3. Tight spherical 7-designs may exist in dimension n = 3d2 − 4, and the existence is known only for d = 2, 3. In the paper, the existence is ruled out under a certain arithmetic condition on d, satisfied by infinitely many values of d, including d = 4. Also, nonexistence is shown for d = 5. The fact that the arithmetic conditions on m for 5-designs and on d for 7-designs are satisfied by infinitely many values of m and d, respectively, is shown in the Appendix written by Y.-F. S. Pétermann. §

Nonexistence of Certain Spherical Designs of Odd Strengths and Cardinalities
A spherical τ -design on S is a finite set such that, for all polynomials f of degree at most τ , the average of f over the set is equal to the average of f over the sphere S. In this paper we obtain some necessary conditions for the existence of designs of odd strengths and cardinalities. This gives nonexistence results in many cases. Asymptotically, we derive a bound which is better than the ...
متن کاملNonexistence results for spherical 7-designs
We obtain new nonexistence results for spherical 7-designs of odd cardinality. Our approach continues similar investigations for smaller strengths. We combine polynomial techniques with some geometric argument to obtain restrictions of the structure of 7-designs with fixed cardinality.
متن کاملNew nonexistence results for spherical designs
We investigate the structure of spherical 5-designs of relatively small cardinalities. We obtain some bounds on the extreme inner products of such designs. As a result, in 42 cases we prove nonexistence of designs of corresponding parameters. Our approach can be applied for other strengths and cardinalities.
متن کاملNonexistence of nontrivial tight 8-designs
Tight t-designs are t-designs whose sizes achieve the Fisher type lower bound. We give a new necessary condition for the existence of nontrivial tight designs and then use it to show that there do not exist nontrivial tight 8-designs.
متن کاملA method for proving nonexistence of spherical designs of odd strength and odd cardinality
We combine polynomial techniques with some geometric arguments to obtain restrictions of the structure of spherical designs with fixed odd strength and odd cardinality. Our bounds for the extreme inner products of such designs allow us to prove nonexistence results in many cases. Applications are shown for 7-designs. DOI: 10.1134/S0032946009020033
