Abstract

In this paper we develop an integer-affine classification of three-dimensional multistory completely empty convex marked pyramids. We apply it to obtain the complete lists of compact two-dimensional faces of multidimensional continued fractions lying in planes with integer distances to the origin equal 2, 3, 4 ... The faces are considered up to the action of the group of integer-linear transformations. In conclusion we formulate some actual unsolved problems associated with the generalizations for n-dimensional faces and more complicated face configurations.
