  1. 1 Introduction Sphere Packing problem
  2. 2 What is this your packing problem?
  3. 3 Collection of spheres
  4. 4 What is the density of these spheres?
  5. 5 Some answers which are known only in some small dimensions
  6. 6 Stack layers of the hexagonal lattice

  8. 8 Why is this the best?
  9. 9 These are the densest proof by hales & collaborators
  10. 10 What we can guess in some higher dimensions?
  11. 11 Low dimensional lattices
  12. 12 What are all the densest packing's in low dimension and fiber in construction?
  13. 13 Modular lattices
  14. 14 Infinity many possibilities and they are obtained by suitable coloring of a packing
  15. 15 For along time it was suspected that E8 lattice packing was the unique densest
