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.

Optimization of trigonometric polynomials with crystallographic symmetry and spectral bounds for set avoiding graphs

TL;DR: In this paper , a new approach to minimize trigonometric polynomials, which are invariant under the associated reflection group, is presented, where the objective function is defined on a compact basic semi-algebraic set, so that we can benefit from the rich theory of polynomial optimization.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that quantum error-correcting codes, those of the stabilizer type, are related to Lorentzian lattices and non-chiral CFTs.

Tessellated Wasserstein Auto-Encoders.

TL;DR: A novel non-adversarial framework called Tessellated Wasserstein Auto-encoders (TWAE) is developed to tessellate the support of the target distribution into a given number of regions by the centroidal VoronoiTessellation (CVT) technique and design batches of data according to the tessellingation instead of random shuffling for accurate computation of discrepancy.

Generalized transport inequalities and concentration bounds for Riesz-type gases

TL;DR: In this article , the connection between a generalized Riesz electric energy and norms on the set of probability measures defined in terms of duality was explored, and functional inequalities linking these two notions were derived, recovering and generalizing existing Coulomb transport inequalities.
