Enumeration of closest-packings by the space group: a simple approach

The problem of enumerating the possible closest-packings of equal spheres having a period P for each of the possible space groups is solved by systematic exploitation of the properties of the two-color symmetry group of the cyclotomic representation of the Zhdanov symbol...
