Nonexistence of d-point simplex 3-designs
Nonexistence of d-point simplex 3-designs
Let denote the -point probability simplex, and let a simplex -design be a collection of points in whose moments agree with those of the uniform simplex measure through degree . Nonexistence conjecture. There are no -point simplex 3-designs in for . This would extend the established nonexistence result for simplex 4-designs and is motivated by the known obstruction in dimension together with numerical evidence; the general case remains open.
