Stealthiest configurations in two and three dimensions

Prove that the triangular lattice in two dimensions and the body-centered cubic lattice in three dimensions maximize stealthiness among particle configurations of fixed density.

Background

The paper establishes that the E8 and Leech lattices are the unique stealthiest isometry-invariant point processes of intensity 1 in dimensions 8 and 24. It contrasts these results with the conjectured optimizers in dimensions 2 and 3, where the analogous optimality statements remain unproved. The problem is to establish the corresponding global stealthiness bounds and identify the optimizers in those dimensions.

References

In contrast, the conjectured optimizers in two and three dimensions are the triangular lattice and the body-centered cubic lattice , but no proof is known.
