Abstract: We study a problem in the theory of cubature formulas on the sphere: given $hetain(0,1)$, determine the infimum of $|u{|}_{h}eta=su{m}_{i=1}^n{u}_i^{h}eta$ over cubature formulas $u$ of strength $t$, where $u_i$ are the weights of the formula $u$. This problem, which generalizes the classical problem of bounding the minimal cardinality of a cubature formula -- the case $heta=0$ -- was introduced in recent work of Hang and Wang (arXiv:2010.10654), who showed the problem to be related to optimal constants in Sobolev inequalities. Using the elementary theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on $S^{n-1}$, we extend the best known upper and lower bounds for the minimal cardinality of strength-$t$ cubature formulas to bounds for the infimum of $|cdot{|}_{h}eta$ for any $hetain(0,1)$. In particular, we completely characterize the cubature measures of strength $3$ minimizing $|cdot{|}_{h}eta$, showing that these are precisely the tight spherical $3$-designs.
