Abstract

We determine the optimal horoball packing densities for Koszul-type Coxeter simplex tilings in hyperbolic 33-space. Using a parametrization of horoballs by the Busemann function and the symmetry of the tilings, we obtain families of packings that attain the universal simplicial density upper bound d3()  =  (23Λ ⁣(π3))1    0.853276, d_3(\infty) \;=\; \left( 2 \sqrt{3}\,\Lambda\!\left(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right) \right)^{-1} \;\approx\; 0.853276, where Λ\Lambda denotes the Lobachevsky function. These results show that extremal packing densities in H3\mathbb{H}^3 are realized by multiple explicit Coxeter tilings and are closely tied to special values of LL-functions and hyperbolic manifold volumes.
