Horoball packings to the totally asymptotic regular simplex in the hyperbolic \(n\)-space (Q2375909)

In [Acta Math. Hung. 136, No. 1--2, 39--55 (2012; Zbl 1274.52029)], the author has generalized the notion of simplicial density function for horoballs in the extended hyperbolic space \({\overline {\mathrm H}}^3\), where the horoballs in different types centered at various vertices of a totally asymptotic tetrahedron are allowed. The paper under review is devoted to the study of the locally densest horoball packing arrangements and their densities with respect to totally asymptotic regular simplices in the hyperbolic \(n\)-space \({\overline {\mathrm H}}^n\) extended with its absolute figure, where the ideal centers of horoballs lie in the vertices of a totally asymptotic regular tetrahedron. In particular, the author shows that, in this sense, the well known Böröczky-Florian density upper bound for ``congruent ball and horoball'' packings of \({\overline {\mathrm H}}^3\) does not remain valid for the analogous packing of \({\overline {\mathrm H}}^n\), for \(n \geq 4\).
