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.

Generating dense packings of hard spheres by soft interaction design

TL;DR: In this article, an isotropic interaction potential was added to the pure hard core repulsion to maximize a lower bound on packing density, and the authors showed that exponentially many distinct disordered sphere packings can be effectively constructed by this method, up to a packing fraction close to $7\, d\, 2^{-d}$.

Theory of high-dimensional liquids and glasses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the dynamics of liquids and glasses using the limit of large spatial dimension, which provided a well-defined mean-field approximation with a clear small parameter.

TL;DR: A program to prove the Kepler conjecture on sphere packings is described and it is shown that every Delaunay star that satisfies a certain regularity condition satisfies the conjecture.
