Kissing numbers
No formal proof attached. Any claim here rests on a write-up or a report.
Fidelity F0: None. No formal statement is attached to the result.
For a dimension $n \\geq 1$, define the kissing number $C(n)$ to be the maximum number of non-overlapping unit spheres that can be arranged to simultaneously touch a central unit sphere in $n$-dimensional space. Establish upper and lower bounds on $C(n)$ that are as strong as possible.
