Abstract: A set of vectors of equal norm in $mathbb{C}^d$ represents equiangular lines if the magnitudes of the Hermitian inner product of every pair of distinct vectors in the set are equal. The maximum size of such a set is $d^2$, and it is conjectured that sets of this maximum size exist in $mathbb{C}^d$ for every $dgeq2$. We take a combinatorial approach to this conjecture, using mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in the following 3 constructions of equiangular lines: (1) adapting a set of $d$ MUBs in $mathbb{C}^d$ to obtain $d^2$ equiangular lines in $mathbb{C}^d$, (2) using a set of $d$ MUBs in $mathbb{C}^d$ to build $(2d{)}^2$ equiangular lines in $mathbb{C}^{2d}$, (3) combining two copies of a set of $d$ MUBs in $mathbb{C}^d$ to build $(2d{)}^2$ equiangular lines in $mathbb{C}^{2d}$. For each construction, we give the dimensions $d$ for which we currently know that the construction produces a maximum-sized set of equiangular lines.
