Abstract
A unified density functional theory for the freezing of hard rods, disks, spheres and hyperspheres is presented. The hard rod solid is shown to be unstable with respect to density changes (negative compressibility). The results for the hard disk and the hard sphere transition compare well with the computer simulations.
