The local-to-global principle for integral Apollonian circle packings
The local-to-global principle for integral Apollonian circle packings
Let be an integral Apollonian circle packing, and let be the set of residue classes modulo represented by curvatures of circles in .
Local-to-global principle for Apollonian circle packings. There exists such that every integer whose residue modulo lies in is the curvature of a circle in .
This conjecture predicts that the congruence obstructions modulo are the only obstructions to sufficiently large integers occurring as curvatures. It gives a precise form of the strong-density conjecture for integral Apollonian circle packings; the source reports experimental evidence but does not state a resolution.
