Involution and commutator length for complex hyperbolic isometries

Abstract

We study decompositions of complex hyperbolic isometries as products of involutions. We show that PU(2,1) has involution length 4 and commutator length 1, and that for all n ≥slant 3 PU(n,1) has involution length at most 8.
