Complex spherical designs from group orbits
Mozhgan Mohammadpour and Shayne Waldron
Abstract:
We consider the general question of when all orbits under the unitary action
of a finite group give a complex spherical design. Those orbits which have large
stabilisers are then good candidates for being optimal complex spherical designs.
This is done by developing the general theory of complex designs and associated
(harmonic) Molien series for group actions. As an application, we give explicit
constructions of some putatively optimal real and complex spherical t-designs.
