The curvatures of the circles in integral Apollonian circle packings, named for Apollonius of Perga (262-190 BC), form an infinite collection of integers whose Diophantine properties have recently seen a surge in interest. Here, we give a…

In this paper, we establish a connection between Apollonian packings and knot theory. We introduce new representations of links realized in the tangency graph of the regular crystallographic sphere packings. Particularly, we prove that any…

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…

Inspired by a question of Sarnak, we introduce the notion of a prime component in an Apollonian circle packing: a maximal tangency-connected subset having all prime curvatures. We also consider thickened prime components, which are…

We introduce an analog of Bianchi groups for rational quaternion algebras and use it to construct sphere packings that are analogs of the Apollonian circle packing known as integral crystallographic packings.

In this note, we investigate an infinite one parameter family of circle packings, each with a set of three mutually tangent circles. We use these to generate an infinite set of circle packings with the Apollonian property. That is, every…

Haag, Kertzer, Rickards, and Stange disprove the Local-Global Conjecture for Apollonian circle packings. We extend their disproof to four more types of integral circle packing: the octahedral, cubic, square, and triangular packings. In each…

We introduce an orthoplicial Apollonian sphere packing, which is a sphere packing obtained by successively inverting a configuration of 8 spheres with 4-orthplicial tangency graph. We will show that there are such packings in which the…

The Apollonian packings (APs) are fractals that result from a space-filling procedure with spheres. We discuss the finite size effects for finite intervals $s\in[s_\mathrm{min},s_\mathrm{max}]$ between the largest and the smallest sizes of…

The main result of this paper is an effective count for Apollonian circle packings that are either bounded or contain two parallel lines. We obtain this by proving an effective equidistribution of closed horospheres in the unit tangent…

We extend fundamental results concerning Apollonian packings, which constitute a major object of study in number theory, to certain homogeneous sets that arise naturally in complex dynamics and geometric group theory. In particular, we give…

In this paper we study the integral properties of Apollonian-3 circle packings, which are variants of the standard Apollonian circle packings. Specifically, we study the reduction theory, formulate a local-global conjecture, and prove a…

We call a packing of hyperspheres in $n$ dimensions an Apollonian sphere packing if the spheres intersect tangentially or not at all; they fill the $n$-dimensional space; and every sphere in the packing is a member of a cluster of $n+2$…

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…
