Abstract

In this short note we use the presentations found by the various authors to show that the Picard modular groups PU(2, 1, Od ) with d = 1, 3, 7 (respectively the quaternion hyperbolic lattice PSp(2, 1, H) with entries in the Hurwitz integer ring H) are generated by complex (resp. quaternionic) reflections, and that the Picard modular groups PU(2, 1, Od ) with d = 2, 11 have an index 4 subgroup generated by complex reflections.
