Abstract: The ball (or sphere) packing problem with equal balls, without any symmetry assumption, in a -dimensional space of constant curvature was settled by B"or"oczky and Florian for the hyperbolic space in cite{BF64} and by proving the famous Kepler conjecture by Hales cite{H} for the Euclidean space . The goal of this paper is to extend the problem of finding the densest geodesic ball (or sphere) packing for the other -dimensional homogeneous geometries (Thurston geometries) SXR,~HXR,~SLR,~NIL,~SOL, where a transitive symmetry group of the ball packing is assumed, one of the discrete isometry groups of the considered space. Moreover, we describe a candidate of the densest geodesic ball packing. The greatest density until now is that is not realized by packing with equal balls of the hyperbolic space . However, it attains e.g. at horoball packing of where the ideal centres of horoballs lie on the absolute figure of inducing the regular ideal simplex tiling by its Coxeter-Schl"afli symbol. In this work we present a geodesic ball packing in the geometry whose density is . The extremal configuration is described in Theorem 2.8, Our conjecture and further remarks are summarized in Section 3.
