Abstract

We combine polynomial techniques with some geometric arguments to obtain restrictions of the structure of spherical designs with fixed odd strength and odd cardinality. Our bounds for the extreme inner products of such designs allow us to prove nonexistence results in many cases. Applications are shown for 7-designs.
