Orbit-closure dichotomy for Apollonian circle packings
Orbit-closure dichotomy for Apollonian circle packings
Let be an Apollonian circle packing with symmetry group . For any circle , consider its orbit . Orbit-closure dichotomy. The orbit is either closed or dense in . This conjecture extends the orbit-closure classification known for geometrically finite acylindrical groups to the Apollonian group, which is not acylindrical because its compact core is a genus-two handlebody with compressible boundary. Whether the asserted dichotomy holds remains open.
