The local-global conjecture for Apollonian 3-circle packings
The local-global conjecture for Apollonian 3-circle packings
Fix a primitive Apollonian 3-circle packing , let be its set of curvatures, and let be the set of admissible integers, meaning integers that pass all local obstructions for .
Local-global conjecture. Every sufficiently large admissible integer from is a curvature. Equivalently,
The conjecture asserts that the local congruence conditions determine all sufficiently large curvatures in an Apollonian 3-packing. The paper proves a density-one version of this statement; the full conjecture is left open in the supplied text.
