\(2_{31}\) polytope code

Description

An antipodal spherical \((7,126,1)\) code whose codewords are the vertices of the smallest shell of the \(E_7\) lattice [1].

Cousins

  • Sharp configuration— The 63 antipodal pairs of vertices of the \(2_{31}\) polytope form a sharp configuration in \(\mathbb{R}P^6\) [2].
  • \(t\)-design— The 63 antipodal pairs of vertices of the \(2_{31}\) polytope form a 2-design in \(\mathbb{R}P^6\) [2].
  • Real projective space code— The 63 antipodal pairs of vertices of the \(2_{31}\) polytope form a sharp configuration and a 2-design in \(\mathbb{R}P^6\) [2].
