Bannai et al.'s classification conjecture for spherical 3-distance 5-designs

About 6 years old · traced to

Let C⊂Sn−1C\subset\mathbb{S}^{n-1} be a spherical 3-distance 5-design.

Bannai et al.'s classification conjecture. One of the following holds: (1) n=2n=2 and CC is a regular hexagon or a regular heptagon; (2) CC is a tight spherical 5-design; or (3) CC is derived from a tight spherical 7-design.

This conjecture asks for the classification of spherical 3-distance 5-designs. The paper rules out certain cases and reports verification in all dimensions n≤1000n\leq 1000, but does not establish the classification in general.
