Regular Totally Separable Sphere Packings

Metric Geometry 2015-06-16 v1

Abstract

The topic of totally separable sphere packings is surveyed with a focus on regular constructions, uniform tilings, and contact number problems. An enumeration of all regular totally separable sphere packings in R2\mathbb{R}^2, R3\mathbb{R}^3, and R4\mathbb{R}^4 which are based on convex uniform tessellations, honeycombs, and tetracombs, respectively, is presented, as well as a construction of a family of regular totally separable sphere packings in Rd\mathbb{R}^d that is not based on a convex uniform dd-honeycomb for d3d \geq 3.
