Abstract

We study Deraux's non arithmetic orbifold ball quotient surfaces obtained as birational transformations of a quotient XX of a particular Abelian surface AA. Using the fact that AA is the Jacobian of the Bolza genus 22 curve, we identify XX as the weighted projective plane P(1,3,8)\mathbb{P}(1,3,8). We compute the equation of the mirror MM of the orbifold ball quotient (X,M)(X,M) and by taking the quotient by an involution, we obtain an orbifold ball quotient surface with mirror birational to an interesting configuration of plane curves of degrees 1,21,2 and 33. We also exhibit an arrangement of four conics in the plane which provides the above-mentioned ball quotient orbifold surfaces.
