Abstract:R. B. Kusner [R. Guy, Amer. Math. Monthly 90, 196-199 (1983)]asked whether a set of vectors in 
$ {mathbb R}^{d} $
such that the
$ ell_p $
distance between any pair is 1, has cardinality at mostd + 1.We show that this is true for p = 4and any 
$ d geq 1 $
, and false for all 1d sufficiently large, depending on p. Moregenerally we show that the maximum cardinality is at most 
$ (2lceil p/4rceil-1)d+1 $
if p is an even integer, and at least 
$ (1 + varepsilon_p)d $
if 1depends on p.Received: 5 May 2003
