Explanation, figure, table, references in Traynor. McDuff and Polterovich's existence proof of these packings in nonexplicit; they result from the symplectic blow-up operation. Explicit constructions for n = 8 and n = 9 are still unknown. Biran showed that A125846(n) = A125847(n) = 1 for all n>9.

FORMULA
|
A125846(n)/A125847(n) is maximal symplectic packing density with n balls, as calculated by McDuff and Polterovich.
