title: The equation of state of hard hyperspheres in nine dimensions for low to moderate densities.
abstract: The equation of state of hard hyperspheres in nine dimensions is calculated both from the values of the first ten virial coefficients and from a Monte Carlo simulation of the pair correlation function at contact. The results are in excellent agreement. In addition, we find that the virial series appears to be dominated by an unphysical singularity or singularities on or near the negative density axis, in qualitative agreement with the recently solved Percus-Yevick equation of state in nine dimensions.
