Nonexistence of spanning thin codes for prime modulus

About 2 years old · traced to

Let NN be a prime with N≥3N\geq 3. A spanning simplex is a lattice simplex whose lattice points at height one generate the ambient lattice, and a non-degenerate thin code is a thin code that is not degenerate. Prime-modulus spanning-code conjecture. For prime N≥3N\geq 3 there are no non-degenerate thin codes corresponding to spanning simplices.

Computations in dimensions d≤8d\leq 8 suggest the conjecture, particularly for spanning simplices with prime NΔN_\Delta. Its validity in general remains open.
