Abstract

We study the geometry of the simplest type of compact arithmetic quotients of the hyperbolic 2-ball B2\mathbb{B}^2, which has a moduli interpretation for certain types of abelian varieties of dimension 6 with OF\mathcal{O}_F-endomorphism, where FF is a CM extension of a real quadratic field Q(D)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D}). Under mild assumption, we prove that for any fixed gg, when the defining discriminant DD is large, there will be no complex curves of genus gg on this type of arithmetic quotients. The proof uses the technique of volume estimates, which requires us to understand the distribution of special subvarieties and the geometry near quotient and cusp singularities.
