The self-dual relaxed lattice equality conjecture
The self-dual relaxed lattice equality conjecture
A relaxed lattice is a tempered distribution such that and its Fourier transform have the form
where for all (not all zero) and . It is self-dual when .
Self-dual relaxed lattice conjecture. In every dimension, the largest possible value of among self-dual relaxed lattices equals the smallest value of possible in Theorem 3.2 of Cohn and Elkies.
This conjecture identifies the optimum of the rescaled self-dual relaxed-lattice problem with the optimum in the earlier dual-program bound for sphere packing. The supplied text does not state whether this equality has been proved or disproved.
