The densest lattice in twenty-four dimensions
Henry Cohn, Abhinav Kumar
Abstract
In this research announcement we outline the methods used in our recent proof that the Leech lattice is the unique densest lattice in R24. Complete details will appear elsewhere, but here we illustrate our techniques by applying them to the case of lattice packings in R2, and we discuss the obstacles that arise in higher dimensions.
