Lemmens and Seidel's conjecture for equiangular lines with common angle 1/51/5

Let Ma(n)M_a(n) denote the maximum number of equiangular lines in Rn\boldsymbol{R}^n with common angle aa. Lemmens and Seidel's conjecture.

M1/5(n)={276for 23n185;32(n1)for n185.M_{1/5}(n)=\begin{cases}276&\text{for }23\leq n\leq185;\left\lfloor\frac{3}{2}(n-1)\right\rfloor&\text{for }n\geq185. \end{cases}

Lemmens and Seidel obtained results leading to this conjecture through their pillar-decomposition method for relative bounds on equiangular lines. The conjectured values concern dimensions n23n\geq23 and remain unresolved in general.
