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.

Variations on five-dimensional sphere packings
New non-isometric kissing configurations are constructed in dimensions 5 and 9, and the uniform 5D packings containing the known kissing configurations are classified.
