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