Journal ArticleDOI
A variational principle for domino tilings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an exact formula for the limiting value of the logarithm of the number of tilings per unit area, as a function of the shape of the boundary of the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Universally optimal distribution of points on spheres
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied configurations of points on the unit sphere that minimize potential energy for a broad class of potential functions (viewed as functions of the squared Euclidean distance between points).
Journal ArticleDOI
The sphere packing problem in dimension 24
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Leech lattice is the densest packing of congruent spheres in twenty-four dimensions and that it is the unique optimal periodic packing.
Journal ArticleDOI
New upper bounds on sphere packings I
Henry Cohn,Noam D. Elkies +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors continue the study of the linear programming bounds for sphere packing introduced by Cohn and Elkies and give another proof of the principal theorem, and present some related results and conjectures.
