Existence of asymptotically many tight simplices in quaternionic projective space

About 13 years old · traced to

Let dd and NN be positive integers, and let HPd−1{\mathbb H}{\mathbb P}^{d-1} denote quaternionic projective space. A tight NN-point simplex is a tight code consisting of NN points.

Existence conjecture. As d→∞d\to\infty, there exist tight NN-point simplices in HPd−1{\mathbb H}{\mathbb P}^{d-1} for every NN satisfying

(4−22+o(1))d≤N≤(4+22−o(1))d.(4-2\sqrt{2}+o(1))d\leq N\leq(4+2\sqrt{2}-o(1))d.

The range is suggested by the nonnegativity of the expected local moduli-space dimension. The paper proves several individual existence results, but this asymptotic existence assertion remains open.
