Picard modular surface
In
mathematics
, a
Picard
modular
surface
,
studied
by, is a
complex surface
constructed as a
quotient
of the
unit ball
in
C
2
by a
Picard modular group
.
Picard modular
surfaces
are some of the
simplest
examples
of
Shimura varieties
and are sometimes used as a
test case
for the
general theory
of
Shimura
varieties
