Abstract:We consider a discrete subgroup Γ of the simply connected Lie group $$\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}}(1,1)$$ of finite level, i.e. the subgroup intersects the centre of $$\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}}(1,1)$$ in a subgroup of finite index, this index is called the level of the group. The Killing form induces a Lorentzian metric of constant curvature on the Lie group $$\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}}(1,1)$$. The discrete subgroup Γ acts on $$\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}}(1,1)$$ by left translations. We describe the Lorentz space form $$\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}}(1,1)/\Gamma$$ by constructing a fundamental domain F for Γ. We want F to be a polyhedron with totally geodesic faces. We construct such F for all Γ satisfying the following condition: The image $$\bar\Gamma$$ of Γ in PSU(1,1) has a fixed point u in the unit disk of order larger than the index of Γ. The construction depends on the group Γ and on the orbit Γ(u) of the fixed point u.
Keywords:Lorentz space form  Polyhedral fundamental domain  Quasihomogeneous singularity  Arnold singularity series
