Abstract

I will discuss a probabilistic variant of the classic packing problem (with spheres, rods, squares, polyominoes, etc.), where the average density of the packing is controlled by a single “activity” parameter. The goal is to answer the following question: for each value of the activity, what does a typical packing look like?
