The maximum spherical two-distance set conjecture

Let g(n)g(n) denote the maximum cardinality of a spherical two-distance set in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Maximum spherical two-distance set conjecture.

g(n)=n(n+1)2if n(2k+1)23for some kN.g(n)=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\quad\text{if }n\ne(2k+1)^2-3\quad\text{for some }k\in\mathbb{N}.

The conjecture reflects the observed pattern that the maximal size is generally n(n+1)/2n(n+1)/2, with the dimensions (2k+1)23(2k+1)^2-3 as the possible exceptions. Its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
