Abstract

We consider a finite subgroup Θ_n of the group O(N) of orthogonal matrices, where N = 2^n, n = 1, 2 …. This group was defined in [7]. We use it in this paper to construct spherical designs in2^n-dimensional Euclidean space R. We prove thatrepresentations of the group Θ_n on spaces of harmonicpolynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are irreducible. This and theearlier results [1–3] imply that the orbit Θ_n, 2x of anyinitial point x on the sphere S_N − 1 is a 7-design in the Euclidean space of dimension 2^n.
