Negative virial coefficients and the dominance of loose packed diagrams for D-dimensional hard spheres

Negative virial coefficients and the dominance of loose packed diagrams for D-dimensional hard spheres

We study the virial coefficients B_k of hard spheres in D dimensions by means of Monte-Carlo integration. We find that B_5 is positive in all dimensions but that B_6 is negative for all D >= 6. For 7
