Abstract: We show that the projectivized complex reflection group $Gamma$ of the unique $(1+i)$-modular Hermitian $mathbbZ[i]$-module of signature $(9,1)$ is a new arithmetic reflection group in $PU(9,1)$. We find $32$ complex reflections of order four generating $Gamma$. The mirrors of these $32$ reflections form the vertices of a sort of Coxeter-Dynkin diagram $D$ for $Gamma$ that encode Coxeter-type generators and relations for $Gamma$. The vertices of $D$ can be indexed by sixteen points and sixteen affine hyperplanes in $mathbb{F}_2^4$. The edges of $D$ are determined by the finite geometry of these points and hyperplanes. The group of automorphisms of the diagram $D$ is $2^{4}colon(2^{3}colon{L}_3(2))colon2$. This group transitively permutes the $32$ mirrors of generating reflections and fixes an unique point $au$ in $mathbbC{H}^9$. These $32$ mirrors are precisely the mirrors closest to $au$. These results are strikingly similar to the results satisfied by the complex hyperbolic reflection group at the center of Allcock's monstrous proposal.
