Fundamental domains and presentations for the Deligne-Mostow lattices with 2-fold symmetry (Q2305370)

This paper is part of a program for studying a class of lattices in $PU(2,1)$ introduced by \textit{P. Deligne} and \textit{G. D. Mostow} [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 63, 5--89 (1986; Zbl 0615.22008)]. The main goal is to give a geometric construction for such a lattice, and to determine a fundamental domain. There was contributions by \textit{J. R. Parker} [Acta Math. 196, No. 1, 1--64 (2006; Zbl 1100.57017)], Deraux, Falbel, Paupert [\textit{M. Deraux} et al., Acta Math. 194, No. 2, 155--201 (2005; Zbl 1113.22010)], and some others. Following Thurston one associates to such a lattice a family of Euclidean cone metrics on the sphere, i.e. metric locally isometric to the two dimensional Euclidean metric with finitely many cone singularities. In the present paper, the author builds such a lattice with two fold symmetry, i.e. when two of the five cone points on the sphere have the same angle, and determines a fundamental domain. The configuration space is the family of cone metrics on the sphere with five cone points and prescribed angles. A cone metric in this family is parametrized by a point in a 2-dimensional complex hyperbolic space. Then one considers transformations, called moves, acting on this family, which correspond to matrices in $U(2,1)$ acting on the parameter. For special values of the angles, these transformations generate a lattice in $PU(2,1)$, which belongs to the class introduced by Mostow. Then one builds three polyhedra whose union is a fundamental domain of the lattice.
