The classification of homogeneous surfaces in \(\mathbb{C} H^ 2\). (Q2767449)

In a recent paper, \textit{C. P. Wang} obtained an explicit classification of the homogeneous surfaces in the complex projective plane [Geometry and topology of submanifolds, X Singapore World Scientific, 303--314 (2000; Zbl 0991.53040)]. In this paper, the authors deal with the classification of the homogeneous surfaces \((M,x)\) in the complex hyperbolic plane \(\mathbb CH^ 2.\)NEWLINENEWLINEIn addition to the Kähler angle \(\theta \), they introduce two invariants, a complex 1-form \(\Phi \) and a complex 3-form \(\Psi ,\) which will be used to obtain the classification results. If all the points in \((M,x)\) are complex points (the Kähler angle is either \(0\) or \(\pi \)), then from the fact that \((M,x)\) must be either a holomorphic curve or an antiholomorphic curve they easily determine the local homogeneous ones in terms of the standard \(\mathbb CH^ 1.\) Then they show that homogeneous surfaces \((M,x)\) with no complex points must have constant non-positive Gaussian curvature. Finally, the rest of the paper is devoted to show that the set of invariants \(\left\{ \theta ,\Phi ,\Psi \right\},\) forms a complete invariant system from which the homogeneous surfaces can be (non explicitly) determined in the remaining cases to be considered. That is, when the surface is either flat or has negative Gaussian curvature.NEWLINENEWLINEIn particular, if the Gauss curvature of a locally homogeneous surface in \(\mathbb CH^ 2\) without complex point is negative, then it is \(\text{ U}(1,2)\)-equivalent to either an open part of a totally geodesic real hyperbolic plane or to ``generic'' homogeneous surface in \(\mathbb CH^ 2\). As an example of ``generic'' homogeneous surfaces the authors give a special surface introduced in [\textit{B.-Y. Chen}, Result. Math. 33, 65--78 (1998; Zbl 0893.53022)]
