Abstract
Compact sphere packings are sphere packings which can be seen as tilings. They are usually good candidates to maximize the density. We show that the compact packings of Euclidean three-dimensional space with two sizes of spheres are exactly those obtained by filling with spheres of size $$\sqrt{2}-1$$ the octahedral holes of a close-packing of spheres of size 1.
