Birational Hyperbolic Geometry
[ Abstract ]
We study compactifications for complex ball quotients.
We first recall the Satake-Bailey-Borel compactification and the Mumford resolution.
Then we discuss compactifications of ball quotients minus a totally geodesic divisor.
These compactifications turn up for a suitable class of period maps.
