New upper bounds on sphere packings I

We continue the study of the linear programming bounds for sphere packing introduced by Cohn and Elkies. We use theta series to give another proof of the principal theorem, and present some related results and conjectures. This article is in the arXiv as: arXiv:math.MG/0110010
