In order to enumerate the fake projective planes, as announced in~cite{CS}, we found explicit generators and a presentation for each maximal arithmetic subgroup $arGamma$ of~$PU(2,1)$ for which the (appropriately normalized) covolume equals~$1/N$ for some integer~$Nge1$. Prasad and Yeung cite{PY1,PY2} had given a list of all such $arGamma$ (up to equivalence).
The generators were found by a computer search which uses the natural action of $PU(2,1)$ on the unit ball $B(C^2)$ in~$C^2$. Our main results here give criteria which ensure that the computer search has found sufficiently many elements of~$arGamma$ to generate $arGamma$, and describes a family of relations amongst the generating set sufficient to give a presentation of~$arGamma$.
We give an example illustrating details of how this was done in the case of a particular~$arGamma$ (for which $N=864$). While there are no fake projective planes in this case, we exhibit a torsion-free subgroup~$Pi$ of index~$N$ in~$arGamma$, and give some properties of the surface~$Piackslash B(C^2)$.
