Abstract

We prove that a regular elliptic isometry ff of complex hyperbolic space HC2\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^2 preserves a Lagrangian plane through its fixed point as a non-involution if and only if ff is real elliptic. In this case, the isometry ff actually preserves a continuous one-parameter family of Lagrangian planes through the fixed point. The boundaries of these planes form a torus Tf2HC2\mathbb{T}^2_f \subset \partial \mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^2, called the fixed torus of ff. For torsion ff, we show that all Ford domains of f\langle f \rangle with respect to the extended Cygan metric and centred on Tf2\mathbb{T}^2_f admit the same explicit cellular structure. As an application, we classify all discrete and faithful complex hyperbolic (n,,)(n,\infty,\infty)-triangle groups for n=3,4,5n = 3, 4, 5.
