The curvature realization conjecture for the 24-cell Apollonian packing
The curvature realization conjecture for the 24-cell Apollonian packing
Let be the polytopal sphere packing obtained by rescaling a -CBP projection of the -cell by a factor of , and let denote its associated packing. Write for the set of natural numbers.
Curvature realization conjecture. The set of curvatures of is .
Numerical experiments in the source suggest that every integer occurs without any modulo restriction. The statement is presented as one of two conjectures and remains open.
