Nonexistence of perfect 2-error-correcting Lee codes in certain dimensions

The GolombWelch conjecture states that there are no perfect e-error-correcting codes in Zn for n3 and e2. In this note, we prove the nonexistence of perfect 2-error-correcting codes for a certain class of n, which is expected to be infinite. This result further substantiates the GolombWelch conjecture.
