Generators for the Euclidean Picard Modular Groups

Group Theory 2010-06-24 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

The goal of this article is to show that five explicitly given transformations, a rotation, two screw Heisenberg rotations, a vertical translation and an involution generate the Euclidean Picard modular groups with coefficient in the Euclidean ring of integers of a quadratic imaginary number field. We also obtain the relations of the isotropy subgroup by analysis of the combinatorics of the fundamental domain in Heisenberg group.
