Real reflections, commutators and cross-ratios in complex hyperbolic space

چکیده
We provide a concrete criterion to determine whether or not two given elements of PU(2,1) can be written as products of real reflections, with one reflection in common. As an application, we show that the Picard modular groups PU(2, 1,Od) with d = 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 are generated by real reflections up to index 1, 2, 4 or 8.

An Extension of Poincare Model of Hyperbolic Geometry with Gyrovector Space Approach
The aim of this paper is to show the importance of analytic hyperbolic geometry introduced in [9]. In [1], Ungar and Chen showed that the algebra of the group $SL(2,mathbb C)$ naturally leads to the notion of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces for dealing with the Lorentz group and its underlying hyperbolic geometry. They defined the Chen addition and then Chen model of hyperbolic geomet...
متن کاملNON-DISCRETE COMPLEX HYPERBOLIC TRIANGLE GROUPS OF TYPE (n, n,∞; k)
A complex hyperbolic triangle group is a group generated by three complex reflections fixing complex slices (complex geodesics) in complex hyperbolic space. Our purpose in this paper is to improve the result in [3] and to discuss discreteness of complex hyperbolic triangle groups of type (n, n,∞; k).
متن کاملBounded Cohomology, Cross Ratios and Cocycles
We use cross ratios to describe second real continuous bounded cohomology for locally compact σ-compact topological groups. We also investigate the second continuous bounded cohomology group of a closed subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space X and derive some rigidity results for Iso(X)-valued cocycles.
متن کاملSpherical CR Geometry and Dehn Surgery,
There are several ways to generalise the hyperbolic plane and its isometry group to objects in higher dimensions. Perhaps the most familiar is (real) hyperbolic three space, popularised by the work of Thurston [14]. The Poincaré disc and half plane models of the hyperbolic plane naturally come with a complex structure and it is natural to generalise them to complex hyperbolic space in higher co...
متن کاملSelf-commutators of composition operators with monomial symbols on the Bergman space
Let $varphi(z)=z^m, z in mathbb{U}$, for some positive integer $m$, and $C_varphi$ be the composition operator on the Bergman space $mathcal{A}^2$ induced by $varphi$. In this article, we completely determine the point spectrum, spectrum, essential spectrum, and essential norm of the operators $C^*_varphi C_varphi, C_varphi C^*_varphi$ as well as self-commutator and anti-self-commutators of $C_...
