Abstract

We realize the Apollonian group associated to an integral Apollonian circle packings, and some of its generalizations, as a group of automorphisms of an algebraic surface. Borrowing some results in the theory of orbit counting, we study the asymptotic of the growth of degrees of elements in the orbit of a curve on an algebraic surface with respect to a geometrically finite group of its automorphisms.
