Abstract

In this short note we use the presentations found in \cite{MP} and \cite{Po} to show that the Picard modular groups PU(2,1,Od){\rm PU}(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d) with d=1,3,7d=1,3,7 (respectively the quaternion hyperbolic lattice PSp(2,1,H){\rm PSp}(2,1,\mathcal{H}) with entries in the Hurwitz integer ring H\mathcal{H}) are generated by complex (resp. quaternionic) reflections, and that the Picard modular groups PU(2,1,Od){\rm PU}(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d) with d=2,11d=2,11 have an index 4 subgroup generated by complex reflections.
