Dense ball packings by tube manifolds as new models for hyperbolic crystallography
Abstract
We intend to continue our previous papers (\cite{MSz17} and \cite{MSz18}, as indicated there) on dense ball packing hyperbolic space by equal balls, but here with centres belonging to different orbits of the fundamental group , odd number), of our new series of {\it tube or cobweb manifolds} with -rotational symmetry. As we know, is a fixed-point-free isometry group, acting on discontinuously with appropriate tricky fundamental domain , so that every point has a ball-like neighbourhood in the usual factor-topology. Our every is minimal, i.e. does not cover regularly a smaller manifold. It can be derived by its general symmetry group that is a complete Coxeter orthoscheme reflection group, extended by the half-turn of the complete orthoscheme (Fig.~1). The vertices and are outer points of the , as is required, for the above orthoscheme parameters. The situation is described first in Figure 1 of the half trunc-orthoscheme and its usual extended Coxeter diagram, moreover, by the scalar product matrix in formula (1.1) and its inverse in (1.3). These will describe the hyperbolic angle and distance metric of the half trunc-orthoscheme , then its ball packings, densities, then those of the manifolds . As first results we concentrate only on particular constructions by computer for probable material model realizations, atoms or molekules by equal balls, for general as well, summarized at the end of our paper.
