Larman--Rogers--Seidel proved that if the cardinality of a two-distance set is greater than 2d+3, then there exists an integer k such that a^2/b^2=(k-1)/k, where a and b are the distances. In this paper, we give an extension of this theorem for any s. Namely, if the size of an s-distance set is greater than some value depending on d and s, then certain functions of s distances become integers. Moreover, we prove that if the size of X is greater than the value, then the number of s-distance sets is finite.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2011-01-30T04:07:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51K05", "05B25" ], "keywords": [ "larman-rogers-seidels theorem", "s-distance set", "generalization", "d-dimensional euclidean space", "finite set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0912.2387N" } } }
