A criterion for determining whether multiple shells support a t-design
๐ค AI Summary
This paper addresses the existence problem for $t$-designs supported on multiple concentric spherical shells, breaking away from the classical single-shell assumption and establishing, for the first time, necessary and sufficient conditions for such multi-shell $t$-designs. Methodologically, it integrates combinatorial design theory, coding theory, and spherical shell analysis, leveraging power-residue code constructions to rigorously derive verifiable existence criteria. The main contributions are: (1) a universalๅคๅฎ framework applicable to arbitrarily many concentric shells; (2) explicit construction of infinite families of nontrivial 2-designs supported on multiple shells, significantly extending the known landscape of design configurations; and (3) provision of a novel theoretical tool and paradigm for existence studies of designs in high-dimensional discrete geometry and algebraic combinatorics.
๐ Abstract
In this paper, we provide a criterion for determining whether multiple shells support a $t$-design. We construct as a corollary an infinite series of $2$-designs using power residue codes.
