Abstract: Let $$ be the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space and $mSU(n,1)$ be the (holomorphic) isometry group. An element $g$ in $mSU(n,1)$ is called loxodromic or hyperbolic if it has exactly two fixed points on the boundary $$. We classify $mSU(n,1)$ conjugation orbits of pairs of loxodromic elements in $mSU(n,1)$.

Review text

Let $H^n_C$ denote the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space and let $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$ be its isometry group. The elements of $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$ are classified as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic or loxodromic. As discrete groups act on surfaces in hyperbolic space, there are many results about the classification of the elements of $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$. An element $g$ in $\mathrm{SU}(n, 1)$ is called loxodromic or hyperbolic if it has exactly two fixed points on the boundary $\partial H^n_C$. The authors classify $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$ conjugation orbits of pairs of loxodromic elements in $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$ using a geometric approach. The key intuitive idea to do this is to view a pair of loxodromics as a pair of `moving orthonormal frames' and then attach a tuple of boundary points to it that corresponds to the `moving chains' defining the pair. The collection of such tuples of boundary points form a topological space that comes from the $\mathrm{SU}(n,1)$ configuration space $M(n,m)$ of ordered $m$-tuples of points on $\partial H^n_C$ defined by \textit{H. Cunha} and \textit{N. Gusevskii} [J. Geom. Anal. 22, No. 1, 1--11 (2012; Zbl 1254.32039)].
