Explicit near-D5 local results for the five-dimensional kissing number (computer-assisted, unreviewed)
Authors/Creators
Description
Computer-assisted, exact-arithmetic local results for the kissing problem in dimension 5. If 36 (resp. 35, 34) points of a 5-dimensional kissing configuration lie within distance 1/18 (resp. 1/35, 1/44) of distinct D5 root directions, after one common rotation, then the configuration has at most 40 points. The bundle also contains moving-33 at radius 1/174, a D4-core result at radius 1/24, and a conditional bridge from pairwise angles to a common D5 frame. It includes two papers (PDF), exact certificates, and independent checkers (cddlib and lrs). The known bounds 40 <= tau_5 <= 44 are unchanged.
The project was initiated and directed by Uchral Nyam-Osor. The mathematics and computation were carried out by the AI systems Claude (Anthropic) and ChatGPT (OpenAI), each checking the other with independent code. No mathematician has reviewed this work yet.
