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.

A diffusion-map-based algorithm for gradient computation on manifolds and applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the gradient of a function defined on interior points of a submanifold with boundary of the Euclidean space is recovered based on a (normally distributed) random sample of function evaluations at points in the manifold.

Finite projective planes and the Delsarte LP-bound

TL;DR: In this article, an improvement of the Delsarte LP bound was applied to give a new proof of the non-existence of finite projective planes of order 6, and uniqueness of the projective plane of order 7.
