This paper is concerned with the packing of equal spheres in Euclidean spaces [n] of n > 8 dimensions. To be precise, a packing is a distribution of spheres any two of which have at most a point of contact in common. If the centres of the spheres form a lattice, the packing is said to be a lattice packing. The densest lattice packings are known for spaces of up to eight dimensions (1, 2), but not for any space of more than eight dimensions. Further, although non-lattice packings are known in [3] and [5] which have the same density as the densest lattice packings, none is known which has greater density than the densest lattice packings in any space of up to eight dimensions, neither, for any space of more than two dimensions, has it been shown that they do not exist.

The densest lattice packings of equal spheres in Euclidean spaces En of n dimensions are known for n ⩽ 8. However, it is not known for any n ⩾ 3 whether there can be any non-lattice sphere packing with density exceeding that of the densest lattice packing. W. Barlow described [1] a non-lattice packing in E3 with the same density as the densest lattice packing, and I described [6] three non-lattice packings in E5 which also have this property.

The densest lattice packings of spheres in Euclidean spaces En of n dimensions are known for n ≤ 8 (for full n — references see [6]). However, it i s not known for any n ≥ 3 whether there can be any non-lattice sphere packing with density exceeding that of the corresponding densest lattice packing.

AbstractWe construct the ancient solutions of the hypersurface flows in Euclidean spaces studied by B. Andrews in 1994.As time {t\rightarrow 0^{-}} the solutions collapse to a round point where 0 is the singular time. But as {t\rightarrow-\infty} the solutions become more and more oval. Near the center the appropriately-rescaled pointed Cheeger–Gromov limits are round cylinder solutions {S^{J}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-J}}, {1\leq J\leq n-1}. These results are the analog of the corresponding results in Ricci flow ({J=n-1}) and mean curvature flow.
