422 Geometry of Numbers 29.1 Densest Lattice Packing of Balls in Dimensions 2 and 3 The densest lattice packings of balls are known in dimensions: d = 2 : Lagrange [628] (in arithmetic form) d = 3 : Gauss [364] d = 4, 5 : Korkin and Zolotarev [609, 611] d = 6, 7, 8 : Blichfeldt [132] d = 24 : Cohn and Kumar [211] The densest lattice packing of balls in dimension d = 24 is provided by the Leech lattice. The proofs for d = 3, up to the year 2000, were either arithmetic, or geometric but rather clumsy. Hales [472] gave a simple and elegant geometric argument which is reproduced below. We make some remarks on the result of Hales that δL(B 3 ) = δT (B 3 ) and add heuristic considerations for higher dimensions. Densest Lattice Packing in Dimensions 2 and 3 We prove the following results of Lagrange and Gauss. Theorem 29.1. δL(B 2 ) = π 2 √ 3 = 0.906 899.., δL(B 3 ) = π 3 √ 2 = 0.740 480... Proof. The case d = 2 is left to the reader (Fig. 29.1). For the proof in case d = 3, note first that by Theorem 30.1 there is a packing lattice L of B 3 which yields a packing of B 3 of maximum density. If the ball B 3 did not touch any other ball in this packing then contracting L slightly would yield a lattice packing of higher density, which is impossible. Thus, by periodicity, the balls in the packing are arranged as beads in parallel strings such that neighbouring balls in each string touch. If balls in different strings did not touch then, again, by pushing the strings suitably together, we obtain a lattice packing of B 3 of higher density, which is impossible. Thus we may arrange the strings in parallel layers where, in Fig. 29.1. Densest lattice packing of circular discs in E 2
29 Packing of Balls and Positive Quadratic Forms 423 each layer, neighbouring strings touch. Given a layer, the balls in each neighbouring layer must rest in the pockets formed by three balls in our layer and touch all three balls; otherwise we can form a lattice packing of higher density, which is impossible. (Of these three balls two are in one string and the third one in a neighbouring string.) We thus have obtained three balls, touching pairwise. (Of these three balls two are neighbours in a string in our layer and one is from a parallel neighbouring layer.) We now change our point of view. By periodicity we may suppose that these three balls have centres at o, a, b ∈ L, where o, a, b form an equilateral triangle. The balls with centres in the 2-dimensional sub-lattice of L generated by a, b form a layer in which the balls are arranged hexagonally. The balls in the parallel neighbouring layers must rest in the pockets formed by three pairwise touching balls in our layer and touch all three balls; otherwise we can obtain a lattice packing of higher density. This shows that L is generated by points a, b, c, such that o, a, b, c form the vertices of a regular tetrahedron. That is, L is a face-centred cubic lattice and an elementary calculation shows that the density is as required. ⊓⊔ Densest Packing of Translates in Dimension 2 and 3 For d = 2 Thue [996, 997] showed that δT (B 2 ) = δL(B 2 ). A gap in Thue’s proof was filled by Fejes Tóth [327]. For a proof of a more general result due to Fejes Tóth and Rogers, see Sect. 30.4. For a proof of Thue’s theorem, based on Fejes Tóth’s moment theorem 33.1, compare Sect. 33.4. In a recent breakthrough Hales has proved the so-called Kepler conjecture, which says that δL(B 3 ) = δT (B 3 ). See Hales [472–474]. Hales’ proof is long and computationally involved. In [474] an outline if given. Many mathematicians had previously worked on this problem, including Fejes Tóth, Zassenhaus and Hsiang. Fejes Tóth, in particular, described in his book [329] a plan of a proof in which the problem is reduced to an optimization problem in finitely many variables over a compact set which, possibly, can be solved in the future on a computer. This would yield a proof with a transparent mathematical part. Heuristic Observation Consider densest lattice packings of the unit ball in E d for d = 2, 3,.... The space between the balls of the packings seems to become bigger and bigger as the dimension increases. Thus, for sufficiently large d, a suitable translate of B d should fit between the balls of a densest lattice packing. Then, by periodicity, a suitable translate of the whole lattice packing also fits into the space left uncovered by the original
