Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of hyperball (hypersphere) packings in nn-dimensional hyperbolic space (n4n \ge 4). We prove that to each nn-dimensional congruent saturated hyperball packing, there is an algorithm to obtain a decomposition of nn-dimensional hyperbolic space Hn\mathbb{H}^n into truncated simplices. We prove, using the above method and the results of the paper \cite{M94}, that the upper bound of the density for saturated congruent hyperball packings, related to the corresponding truncated tetrahedron cells, is attained in a regular truncated simplex. In 4-dimensional hyperbolic space, we determined this upper bound density to be approximately 0.758640.75864. Moreover, we deny A.~Przeworski's conjecture \cite{P13} regarding the monotonization of the density function in the 44-dimensional hyperbolic space.
