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.

Dual linear programming bounds for sphere packing via modular forms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained new restrictions on the linear programming bound for sphere packing, by optimizing over spaces of modular forms to produce feasible points in the dual linear program, and showed that this bound comes nowhere near the best packing densities known in dimensions 12, 16, 20, 28, and 32.
