Abstract

We describe and study the loci equidistant from finitely many points in the so-called complex hyperbolic geometry, i.e., in the geometry of a holomorphic 22-ball B\Bbb B. In particular, we show that the bisectors (= the loci equidistant from 22 points) containing the (smooth real algebraic) curve equidistant from given 44 generic points form a real elliptic curve and that the foci of the mentioned bisectors constitute an isomorphic elliptic curve. We are going to use the obtained facts in constructions of (compact) quotients of B\Bbb B by discrete groups. With similar technique, we also classify up to isotopy generic 33-dimensional algebras (i.e., bilinear operations) over an algebraically closed field K\Bbb K of characteristic 2,3\ne2,3. Briefly speaking, an algebra is classified by the (plane projective) curve DD of its zero divisors equipped with a nonprojective automorphism of DD. This classification is almost equivalent to the classification of the so-called geometric tensors given in [BoP] by A. Bondal and A. Polishchuk in their study of noncummutative projective planes.
