In this paper we introduce and study the class of d-ball packings arising from edge-scribable polytopes. We are able to generalize Apollonian disk packings and the well-known Descartes theorem in different settings and in higher dimensions. After introducing the notion of Lorentzian curvature of a polytope we present an analogue of the Descartes theorem for all regular polytopes in any dimension. The latter yields to nice curvature relations which we use to construct integral Apollonian packings based on the Platonic solids. We show that there are integral Apollonian packings based on the tetrahedra, cube and dodecahedra containing the sequences of perfect squares. We also study the duality, unicity under Mobius transformations as well as generalizations of the Apollonian groups. We show that these groups are hyperbolic Coxeter groups admitting an explicit matrix representation. An unexpected invariant, that we call Mobius spectra, associated to Mobius unique polytopes is also discussed.
We study Apollonian circle packings in relation to a certain rank 4 indefinite Kac-Moody root system $Phi$. We introduce the generating function $Z(mathbf{s})$ of a packing, an exponential series in four variables with an Apollonian symmetry group, w
In 1972, Chvatal gave a well-known sufficient condition for a graphical sequence to be forcibly hamiltonian, and showed that in some sense his condition is best possible. Nash-Williams gave examples of forcibly hamiltonian n-sequences that do not sat
This note wants to explain how to obtain meaningful pictures of (possibly high-dimensional) convex polytopes, triangulated manifolds, and other objects from the realm of geometric combinatorics such as tight spans of finite metric spaces and tropical
Let $ngeq 3$ and $r_n$ be a $3$-polytopal graph such that for every $3leq ileq n$, $r_n$ has at least one vertex of degree $i$. We find the minimal vertex count for $r_n$. We then describe an algorithm to construct the graphs $r_n$. A dual statement
Caratheodory showed that $n$ complex numbers $c_1,...,c_n$ can uniquely be written in the form $c_p=sum_{j=1}^m rho_j {epsilon_j}^p$ with $p=1,...,n$, where the $epsilon_j$s are different unimodular complex numbers, the $rho_j$s are strictly positive
