An Explicit Fundamental Domain for the Picard Modular Group in Two Complex Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our main goal in this paper is to construct the first explicit fundamental domain of the Picard modular group acting on the complex hyperbolic space CH . The complex hyperbolic space is a Hermitian symmetric space, its bounded realization is the unit ball in C equipped with the Bergman metric. The Picard modular group is a discontinuous holomorphic automorphism subgroup of SU(2, 1) with Gaussian integer entries. This fundamental domain has finite volume, one cusp, explicitly given boundary surfaces and an interesting symmetry.

Dimension Formulas for Automorphic Forms of Coabelian Hyperbolic Type
There are infinitely many hyperbolic transforms of complex abelian surfaces. The corresponding universal covers change from the complex plane to the unit ball, from flat to hyperbolic metrics. Looking back to Jacobi’s periodic functions we were able to construct 2-dimensional abelian functions transformable to automorphic forms on the ball. In this article we prove explicit dimension formulas f...
متن کاملGenerators of a Picard Modular Group in Two Complex Dimensions
The goal of the article is to prove that four explicitly given transformations, two Heisenberg translations, a rotation and an involution generate the Picard modular group with Gaussian integers acting on the two dimensional complex hyperbolic space. The result answers positively a question raised by A. Kleinschmidt and D. Persson.
متن کاملThe geometry of the Gauss-Picard modular group
We give a construction of a fundamental domain for the group PU(2, 1,Z[i]). That is the group of holomorphic isometries of complex hyperbolic space with coefficients in the Gaussian ring of integers Z[i]. We obtain from that construction a presentation of that lattice and relate it, in particular, to lattices constructed by Mostow.
متن کاملGenerators for the Euclidean Picard Modular Groups
The goal of this article is to show that five explicitly given transformations, a rotation, two screw Heisenberg rotations, a vertical translation and an involution generate the Euclidean Picard modular groups with coefficient in the Euclidean ring of integers of a quadratic imaginary number field. We also obtain a presentation of the isotropy subgroup fixing infinity by analysis of the combina...
متن کاملThe Geometry of the Eisenstein-picard Modular Group
The Eisenstein-Picard modular group PU(2, 1;Z[ω]) is defined to be the subgroup of PU(2, 1) whose entries lie in the ring Z[ω], where ω is a cube root of unity. This group acts isometrically and properly discontinuously on H C , that is, on the unit ball in C2 with the Bergman metric. We construct a fundamental domain for the action of PU(2, 1;Z[ω]) on H2 C , which is a 4-simplex with one ideal...
