Sphere packing and harmonic analysis
Topic
Harmonic analysis is one of the fundamental tools in sphere packing, in
the form of "linear programming bounds". This talk will give a survey
of linear programming bounds and their applications, as well as a brief
introduction to semidefinite programming bounds (an extension due to
Schrijver, Bachoc, and Vallentin).
