The Hirzebruch-Mumford covolume of some hermitian lattices
Abstract: Let $L=diag(1,1,\ldots,1,-1)$ and $M=diag(1,1,\ldots,1,-2)$ be the lattices of signature $(n,1)$. We consider the groups $\Gamma=SU(L,\mathcal{O}_K)$ and $\Gamma'=SU(M,\mathcal{O}_K)$ for an imaginary quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ of discriminant $D$ and it's ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, $d$ odd and square free. We compute the Hirzebruch-Mumford volume of the factor spaces $\mathbb{B}n/\Gamma$ and $\mathbb{B}n/\Gamma'$. The result for the factor space $\mathbb{B}n/\Gamma$ is due to Zeltinger, but as we're using it to prove the result for $\mathbb{B}n/\Gamma'$ and it is hard to find his article, we prove the first result here as well.
