Quadratic-Defect Completions of Spherical $2$-Design Orbits
We study how spherical $2$-designs arising from finite group orbits can be completed to spherical $4$-designs by adjoining further orbits, allowing weights in the general theory. For an irreducible real orthogonal $G$-module $W$ with $\mathbb D=\operatorname{End}_G(W)\in\{\mathbb R,\mathbb C,\mathbb H\}$, we consider t...
