Non-periodic geodesic ball packings generated by infinite regular prism tilings in \(\widetilde{\mathbf{SL}_2\mathbf{R}}\) space (Q315387)

The author studies the regular \(p\)-gonal prism tiling in \(\widetilde{\mathbf{SL}_2\mathbf{R}}\), which he introduced in [the author, Aequationes Math. 88, No. 1--2, 67--79 (2014; Zbl 1300.52018)]. He proves that there exist infinitely many regular infinite \(p\)-gonal face-to-face prism tilings \(\mathcal{T}_p^i(q)\) and infinitely many regular bounded \(p\)-gonal non-face-to-face prism tilings \(\mathcal{T}_p(q)\) for \(3\leq p, 2p/(p-2) < q\). The author also studies the non-periodic geodesic ball packings of congruent regular non-periodic prism tilings, obtaining results on the largest packing density.
