ABSTRACT:
During the last decades, by applying techniques from Number Theory, Combinatorics and Measure Theory, remarkable progress has been made in the study of deep holes, free planes and related topics in packings of convex bodies, especially in lattice ball packings. Meanwhile some fascinating new problems have been proposed. In this talk we will discuss some main results and key problems about deep holes, free cylinders and free planes.
