Upper bound, last-listed row | $0.644421\ldots$ | [dLOV2014](#dLOV2014) | [dLOV2014](#dLOV2014) lists the dimension-$4$ **center density** upper bound $\delta_4\le 0.130587$ (Table 1). Converting via $\Delta_4=\operatorname{vol}(B)\,\delta_4$ gives $\Delta_4\le \operatorname{vol}(B)\cdot 0.130587 = (\pi^2/2)\cdot 0.130587\approx 0.644421$.

These are the LAST-LISTED rows of this constant's bounds table upstream — a listing position, not a statement that either bound is the strongest or most recent known. Upstream keeps superseded and inferior rows because the tables are histories. Read the source file before citing.

This row is re-checked against upstream every day by a scheduled job, so an old date above does not mean nobody has looked. The dates and values above change only after an upstream change has been verified and published here, so an old date does not prove nothing has moved upstream either. The latest check and its verdict: run history .
