Abstract
Generalizing the involution length of the complex hyperbolic plane, we obtain that the α -length of PU(2 , 1) is 4, that is, every element of PU(2 , 1) can be decomposed as the product of at most 4 special elliptic isometries with parameter α . We also describe the isometries that can be written as the product of 2 or 3 such special elliptic isometries.
