Counter Examples to Invariant Circle Packing

arXiv:1912.12862

Abstract

In this work, a unimodular random planar triangulation is constructed that has no invariant circle packing. This disputes a problem asked in [arXiv:1910.01614]. A natural weaker problem is the existence of point-stationary circle packings for a graph, which are circle packings that satisfy a certain mass transport principle. It is shown that the answer to this weaker problem is also false. Two examples are provided with two different approaches: Using indistinguishability and finite approximations.
