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.
Abstract
Building on Viazovska's recent solution of the sphere packing problem in eight dimensions, we prove that the Leech lattice is the densest packing of congruent spheres in twenty-four dimensions and that it is the unique optimal periodic packing. In particular, we find an optimal auxiliary function for the linear programming bounds, which is an analogue of Viazovska's function for the eight-dimensional case.

The Jamming Transition

TL;DR: In this paper, a broad overview of renowned theories about the glass transition is presented, both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view, motivated by the fact that a different solidity transition, the jamming transition, can be observed in hard spheres and in many other out-ofequilibrium systems, such as foams, emulsions, granular matter.
