Conjecture on universal polar dual pairs of spherical codes
Conjecture on universal polar dual pairs of spherical codes
Let be a PULB-optimal code, and let be its set of universal minima. Assume that is in general position, meaning that is not contained in a hyperplane. Universal polar dual pair conjecture. The code together with forms a PULB-optimal pair and generates a maximal PULB-optimal pair, and hence a universal polar dual pair. This conjecture is motivated by the fact that all examples of PULB-optimal configurations found so far satisfy the asserted property; its general validity remains open.
