Maximal distance between $2d+1$ points on the $(d-1)$-sphere

Turns out kodlu's idea works in all dimensions, regardless of the existence of any Hadamard matrices. Consider all coordinate permutations of $$(1,...,1,-d)\in\Bbb R^{d+1}\quad\text{and}\quad (-1,.. …

Maximal distance between $2d+1$ points on the $(d-1)$-sphere

I finally came to do the computations on Yoav Kallus' comment. After quite some tedious work one finds a cubic polynomial: $$p_d(x)\,=\,d(d-2)^2 x^3 - d^2 x^2 - dx + 1$$ which has exactly one zero in …
