User:Tomruen/Kissing number

In geometry, the kissing number is the maximum number of spheres of radius 1 that can simultaneously touch the unit sphere in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The kissing number problem seeks the kissing number as a function of n.

Some known bounds
The following table lists some known bounds on the kissing number in various dimensions. The dimensions in which the kissing number is known are listed in boldface.
