Abstract: We show that if $Gamma$ is an irreducible subgroup of $mSU(2,1)$, then $Gamma$ contains a loxodromic element $A$. If $A$ has eigenvalues $lambd{a}_1=lambda{e}^{ivarphi},$ $lambd{a}_2=e^{-2ivarphi}$, $lambd{a}_3=lambd{a}^{-1}{e}^{ivarphi}$, we prove that $Gamma$ is conjugate in $mSU(2,1)$ to a subgroup of $mSU(2,1,mathbbQ(Gamma,lambda)),$ where $mathbbQ(Gamma,lambda)$ is the field generated by the trace field $mathbbQ(Gamma)$ of $Gamma$ and $lambda$. It follows from this that if $Gamma$ is an irreducible subgroup of $mSU(2,1)$ such that the trace field $mathbbQ(Gamma)$ is real, then $Gamma$ is conjugate in $mSU(2,1)$ to a subgroup of $mSO(2,1)$. As a geometric application of the above, we get that if $G$ is an irreducible discrete subgroup of $mPU(2,1)$, then $G$ is an $mathbbR$-Fuchsian subgroup of $mPU(2,1)$ if and only if the invariant trace field $k(G)$ of $G$ is real.
