Abstract: In cite{Sz11} we have generalized the notion of the simplicial density function for horoballs in the extended hyperbolic space $$, where we have allowed {it congruent horoballs in different types} centered at the various vertices of a totally asymptotic tetrahedron. By this new aspect, in this paper we study the locally densest horoball packing arrangements and their densities with respect to totally asymptotic regular tetrahedra in hyperbolic $n$-space $$ extended with its absolute figure, where the ideal centers of horoballs give rise to vertices of a totally asymptotic regular tetrahedron. We will prove that, in this sense, {it the well known B"or"oczky density upper bound for "congruent horoball" packings of $$ does not remain valid for $nge4$,} but these locally optimal ball arrangements do not have extensions to the whole $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space. Moreover, we determine an explicit formula for the density of the above locally optimal horoball packings, allowing horoballs in different types.

Review text

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 \(n \geq 4\).
