Periodicity and Circle Packing in the Hyperbolic Plane

Abstract

We prove that given a fixed radius rr, the set of isometry-invariant probability measures supported on ``periodic'' radius rr-circle packings of the hyperbolic plane is dense in the space of all isometry-invariant probability measures on the space of radius rr-circle packings. By a periodic packing, we mean one with cofinite symmetry group. As a corollary, we prove the maximum density achieved by isometry-invariant probability measures on a space of radius rr-packings of the hyperbolic plane is the supremum of densities of periodic packings. We also show that the maximum density function varies continuously with radius.Comment: 25 page
