Abstract: We develop the notion of a Kleinian Sphere Packing, a generalization of "crystallographic" (Apollonian-like) sphere packings defined by Kontorovich-Nakamura [KN19]. Unlike crystallographic packings, Kleinian packings exist in all dimensions, as do "superintegral" such. We extend the Arithmeticity Theorem to Kleinian packings, that is, the superintegral ones come from Q-arithmetic lattices of simplest type. The same holds for more general objects we call Kleinian Bugs, in which the spheres need not be disjoint but can meet with dihedral angles pi/m for finitely many m. We settle two questions from [KN19]: (i) that the Arithmeticity Theorem is in general false over number fields, and (ii) that integral packings only arise from non-uniform lattices.
