Saturated configuration and new large construction of equiangular lines

Abstract: A set of lines through the origin in Euclidean space is called equiangular when any pair of lines from the set intersects with each other at a common angle. We study the maximum size of equiangular lines in Euclidean space and use graph theoretic approach to prove that all the currently known construction for maximum equiangular lines in $\mathbb R^d$ cannot add another line to form a larger equiangular set of lines if $14 \leq d \leq 20$ and $d \neq 15$. We give new constructions of large equiangular lines which are 248 equiangular lines in $\mathbb R^{42}$, 200 equiangular lines in $\mathbb{R}^{41}$, 168 equiangular lines in $\mathbb{R}^{40}$, 152 equiangular lines in $\mathbb R^{39}$ with angle $1/7$, and 56 equiangular lines in $\mathbb R^{18}$ with angle $1/5$.
