Abstract

An equilateral set is a set of points in a metric space whose pairwise distances are all equal. Kusner conjectured that the maximum cardinality of an equilateral set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the $\ell_p$ metric is $n+1$ for every $14$. In particular, for every such $p$, we define $m=m(p)$ and construct an equilateral set of $8m$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{8m-2}$. Previously, Swanepoel disproved the conjecture for $1
