Ball Packings with Periodic Constraints

We call a periodic ball packing in d-dimensional Euclidean space periodically (resp. strictly) jammed with respect to a period lattice Λ if there are no nontrivial motions of the balls that preserve Λ (resp. that maintain some period with smaller or equal volume). In particular, we call a packing co...
