Abstract

We study geometric properties of the action of the Picard modular group Γ=PU(2,1,O7)\Gamma=PU(2,1,\mathcal{O}_7) on the complex hyperbolic plane HC2H^2_\mathbb{C}, where O7\mathcal{O}_7 denotes the ring of algebraic integers in Q(i7)\mathbb{Q}(i\sqrt{7}). We list conjugacy classes of maximal finite subgroups in Γ\Gamma and give an explicit description of the Fuchsian subgroups that occur as stabilizers of mirrors of complex reflections in Γ\Gamma. As an application, we describe an explicit torsion-free subgroup of index 336336 in Γ\Gamma.
