In an earlier work, we proposed a generalization for the Apollonian packing in arbitrary dimensions and showed that the resulting object in four, five, and six dimensions have properties consistent with the Apollonian circle and sphere…
The existence of excircles and an Apollonius circle for a triangle in taxicab geometry are connected to the concept of inscribed triangles.
The lecture, given at the ICM 2014 in Seoul, explores several problems of analytic number theory in the context of function fields over a finite field, where they can be approached by methods different than those of traditional analytic…
We consider circle packings and, more generally, Delaunay circle patterns - arrangements of circles arising from a Delaunay decomposition of a finite set of points - on surfaces equipped with a complex projective structure. Motivated by a…
This exploration of solutions for the orbits of Local Group galaxies under the cosmological initial condition of growing peculiar velocities and fitted to measured distances, redshifts, and proper motions reveals a considerable variety of…
Circle packings are arrangement of circles satisfying specified tangency requirements. Many problems about packing of circles and spheres occur in nature particularly in material design and protein structure. Surprisingly, little is known…
Bounded Apollonian circle packings (ACP's) are constructed by repeatedly inscribing circles into the triangular interstices of a configuration of four mutually tangent circles, one of which is internally tangent to the other three. If the…
We consider circle packings in the plane with circles of sizes $1$, $r\simeq 0.834$ and $s\simeq 0.651$. These sizes are algebraic numbers which allow a compact packing, that is, a packing in which each hole is formed by three mutually…
We show that for certain triangulations of surfaces, circle packings realising the triangulation can be found by solving a system of polynomial equations. We also present a similar system of equations for unbranched circle packings. The…
This paper encompasses the mathematical derivations of the analytic and generalized formula and recurrence relations to find out the radii of n umber of circles inscribed or packed in the plane region bounded by circular arcs (including…
This survey paper is not a complete reference guide to number-theoretical applications of ergodic theory. Instead, it considers an approach to a class of problems involving Diophantine properties of $n$-tuples of real numbers, namely,…
Fix two points $p$ and $q$ in the plane and a positive number $k \neq 1$. A result credited to Apollonius of Perga states that the set of points $x$ that satisfy $d(x, p)/d(x, q) = k$ forms a circle. In this paper we study the analogous set…
A bounded Apollonian circle packing (ACP) is an ancient Greek construction which is made by repeatedly inscribing circles into the triangular interstices in a Descartes configuration of four mutually tangent circles. Remarkably, if the…
We develop the notion of a Kleinian Sphere Packing, a generalization of "crystallographic" (Apollonian-like) sphere packings defined by Kontorovich-Nakamura [KN19]. Unlike crystallographic packings, Kleinian packings exist in all…
The aim of this paper is to share with the mathematical community a list of 33 problems that I have found along the years during my research. I believe that it is worth to think about them and, hopefully, it will be possible either to solve…
We study balanced circle packings and circle-contact representations for planar graphs, where the ratio of the largest circle's diameter to the smallest circle's diameter is polynomial in the number of circles. We provide a number of…
Many well-known graph drawing techniques, including force directed drawings, spectral graph layouts, multidimensional scaling, and circle packings, have algebraic formulations. However, practical methods for producing such drawings…
We give a mathematical computation of the number of solutions of Apollonius problem, by use of Lie Sphere Geometry. Unlike in higher dimensions, the number of solutions depends only on the topology of the configuration of the 3 objects. It…
By Torelli topology the author understands aspects of the topology of surfaces (potentially) relevant to the study of Torelli groups. The present paper is devoted to a new approach to the results of W. Vautaw about Dehn multi-twists in…
We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analysing the rules for phyllotactic indices of related structures and the variation…
