On the Local-Global Principle for Integral Apollonian-3 Circle Packings

Abstract

In this paper we study the integral properties of Apollonian-3 circle packings, which are variants of the standard Apollonian circle packings. Specifically, we study the reduction theory, formulate a local-global conjecture, and prove a density one version of this conjecture. Along the way, we prove a uniform spectral gap for congruence towers of the symmetry group.
