Regular prism tilings in $\SLR$ space
Abstract
geometry is one of the eight 3-dimensional Thurston geometries, it can be derived from the 3-dimensional Lie group of all real matrices with determinant one. Our aim is to describe and visualize the {\it regular infinite (torus-like) or bounded} -gonal prism tilings in space. For this purpose we introduce the notion of the infinite and bounded prisms, prove that there exist infinite many regular infinite -gonal face-to-face prism tilings and infinitely many regular (bounded) -gonal non-face-to-face prism tilings for parameters where . Moreover, we develope a method to determine the data of the space filling regular infinite and bounded prism tilings. We apply the above procedure to and where and visualize them and the corresponding tilings. E. Moln\'ar showed, that the homogeneous 3-spaces have a unified interpretation in the projective 3-space . In our work we will use this projective model of geometry and in this manner the prisms and prism tilings can be visualized on the Euclidean screen of computer.
