A la Fock-Goncharov coordinates for PU(2,1)
Abstract
We describe a set of coordinates on the PU(2,1)-representation variety of the fundamental group of an oriented punctured surface S with negative Euler characteristic. The main technical tool we use is a set of geometric invariants of a triple of flags in the complex hyperpolic plane. We establish a bijection between a set of decorations of an ideal triangulation of S and a subset of the PU(2,1)-representation variety of π1(S).
