Lehmer-type shell design conjecture for two-dimensional Euclidean lattices
Lehmer-type shell design conjecture for two-dimensional Euclidean lattices
Let be a two-dimensional Euclidean lattice whose quadratic form is . A nonempty shell of is the set of lattice vectors having a fixed nonzero norm, viewed on the corresponding sphere.
Shell design conjecture. The following assertions hold:
- If for an integer , then no nonempty shell of is a spherical -design, and some nonempty shell is a spherical -design. Moreover, if every nonempty shell of is a spherical -design, then , so is an -lattice.
- If for an integer , then no nonempty shell of is a spherical -design, and some nonempty shell is a spherical -design. Moreover, if every nonempty shell of is a spherical -design, then , so is a -lattice.
- Otherwise, no nonempty shell of is a spherical -design.
The conjecture seeks a complete classification of spherical designs arising from shells of two-dimensional Euclidean lattices. The paper presents it as a conjecture following computational observations; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
