Abstract

In \cite{Sz17-2} we considered hyperball packings in 33-dimensional hyperbolic space. We developed a decomposition algorithm that for each saturated hyperball packing provides a decomposition of \HYP\HYP into truncated tetrahedra. In order to get a density upper bound for hyperball packings, it is sufficient to determine the density upper bound of hyperball packings in truncated simplices. Therefore, in this paper we examine the doubly truncated Coxeter orthoscheme tilings and the corresponding congruent and non-congruent hyperball packings. We proved that related to the mentioned Coxeter tilings the density of the densest congruent hyperball packing is 0.81335\approx 0.81335 that is -- by our conjecture -- the upper bound density of the relating non-congruent hyperball packings too.
