Universal optimality of the 85-point code in complex dimension five

About 20 years old · traced to

Let C\mathcal C be the code constructed in the paper consisting of 8585 points in C5\mathbb C^5, viewed projectively. A code is universally optimal if it minimizes every admissible completely monotonic potential among codes of the same type and size. Universal-optimality conjecture. The code C\mathcal C constructed in this section is universally optimal.

The construction improves the previously known bound of size 320320 for a weighted projective 33-design, and numerical experiments suggest optimality in several settings. A proof of universal optimality is not supplied and remains open.
