gives a lecture at the Kerékjártó Seminar with title

Gömbkitöltések az n-dimenziós hiperbolikus térben
(Ball packings in hyperbolic n-space)

Date and place of the lecture is:

room Riesz (BO-107)

Abstract of the lecture:
Ball, horoball and hyperball packings of hyperbolic spaces are extensively discussed in the literature, however there remain several open problems.
In this talk we study the problem of horo- and hyperball packings in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space ($\mathbb N\ni n\ge3$). We discuss horoball packings if we allow ``horoballs of different types'' centred at the various vertices of given polyhedra. Moreover, we show some interesting, dense, extendable congruent and non-congruent hyperball packing arrangements related to truncated regular cube, octahedron and tetrahedron tilings.
