Equal-density conjecture for p2mg, cm, and p4 packings
Let -gons be regular polygons, and write the density of the densest packing with plane group symmetry as the corresponding densest -packing density. An -gon has a -fold rotational symmetry if rotation by an angle of preserves it, and means that is a positive integer. p2mg–cm–p4 equal-density conjecture. The densities of the densest and packings are equal for all -gons except -gons with -fold and -fold rotational symmetry, where ; and the densities of the densest , , and packings are equal for all -gons containing a twelve-fold rotational symmetry. These experimentally motivated equalities remain unresolved in the source.
