Uniacute spherical codes (Q6999748)

This paper makes significant progress in the study of spherical \(L\)-codes, particularly those with exactly one acute angle -- so-called uniacute codes. Building on prior results by \textit{B. Bukh} [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 30, No. 1, 549--554 (2016; Zbl 1333.05309)], the authors resolve when the known uniform bound on the size of such codes is tight, using a novel global structure theorem and introducing the concept of modular codes. The work is technically sophisticated, contributes a new structural understanding of spherical configurations in high dimensions, and contains a rich mix of combinatorial, geometric, and spectral methods.
