Horoball packings to the totally asymptotic regular simplex in the hyperbolic $n$-space
Abstract
In \cite{Sz11} we have generalized the notion of the simplicial density function for horoballs in the extended hyperbolic space , where we have allowed {\it congruent horoballs in different types} centered at the various vertices of a totally asymptotic tetrahedron. By this new aspect, in this paper we study the locally densest horoball packing arrangements and their densities with respect to totally asymptotic regular tetrahedra in hyperbolic -space extended with its absolute figure, where the ideal centers of horoballs give rise to vertices of a totally asymptotic regular tetrahedron. We will prove that, in this sense, {\it the well known B\"or\"oczky density upper bound for "congruent horoball" packings of does not remain valid for ,} but these locally optimal ball arrangements do not have extensions to the whole -dimensional hyperbolic space. Moreover, we determine an explicit formula for the density of the above locally optimal horoball packings, allowing horoballs in different types.
