On superintegral Kleinian sphere packings, bugs, and arithmetic groups

M Kapovich, A Kontorovich - Journal für die reine und angewandte …, 2023 - degruyter.com
We develop the notion of a Kleinian Sphere Packing, a generalization of “crystallographic”(
Apollonian-like) sphere packings defined in [A. Kontorovich and K. Nakamura, Geometry …

The local-global conjecture for Apollonian circle packings is false

S Haag, C Kertzer, J Rickards, K Stange - Annals of Mathematics, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
In a primitive integral Apollonian circle packing, the curvatures that appear must fall into one
of six or eight residue classes modulo 24. The local-global conjecture states that every …

Geometry and arithmetic of crystallographic sphere packings

A Kontorovich, K Nakamura - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2019 - pnas.org
We introduce the notion of a “crystallographic sphere packing,” defined to be one whose
limit set is that of a geometrically finite hyperbolic reflection group in one higher dimension …

On the importance of illustration for mathematical research

R Coulon, G Dorfsman-Hopkins, E Harriss… - Notices of the American …, 2024 - ams.org
In the last decade, it has become increasingly possible for researchers to augment their
experience of abstract mathematics with sensory exploration: 3D-printed or CNC-milled …

Do sums of squares dream of free resolutions?

G Blekherman, R Sinn, M Velasco - SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and …, 2017 - SIAM
For a real projective variety X, the cone \Sigma_X of sums of squares of linear forms plays a
fundamental role in real algebraic geometry. The dual cone \Sigma_X^* is a spectrahedron …

Local-global principles in circle packings

E Fuchs, KE Stange, X Zhang - Compositio Mathematica, 2019 - cambridge.org
We generalize work by Bourgain and Kontorovich [On the local-global conjecture for integral
Apollonian gaskets, Invent. Math. 196 (2014), 589–650] and Zhang [On the local-global …

Visualizing the arithmetic of imaginary quadratic fields

KE Stange - International Mathematics Research Notices, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We study the orbit of under the Bianchi group, where is an imaginary quadratic field. The
orbit, called a Schmidt arrangement, is a geometric realization, as an intricate circle packing …

D Farey graph, lambda lengths and -tilings

A Felikson, O Karpenkov, K Serhiyenko… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We explore a three-dimensional counterpart of the Farey tessellation and its relations to
Penner's lambda lengths and $ SL_2 $-tilings. In particular, we prove a three-dimensional …

[HTML][HTML] Quaternion orders and sphere packings

A Sheydvasser - Journal of Number Theory, 2019 - Elsevier
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 …

An illustrated introduction to the arithmetic of Apollonian circle packings, continued fractions, and other thin orbits

KE Stange - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.02050, 2024 - arxiv.org
These notes cover and expand upon the material for two summer schools: The first, which
was held at CIRM, Marseille, France, July 10-14, 2023, as part of" Renormalization and …
