We look at lattices in Iso + (H 2 R ), the group of orientation preserving isometries of the real hyperbolic plane. We study their geometry and dynamics when they act on CP 2 via the natural embedding of SO + (2, 1) → SU(2, 1) ⊂ SL(3, C). We use the Hermitian cross product in C 2,1 introduced by Bill Goldman, to determine the topology of the Kulkarni limit set Λ Kul of these lattices, and show that in all cases its complement Ω Kul has three connected components, each being a disc bundle over H 2 R . We get that Ω Kul coincides with the equicontinuity region for the action on CP 2 . Also, it is the largest set in CP 2 where the action is properly discontinuous and it is a complete Kobayashi hyperbolic space. As a byproduct we get that these lattices provide the first known examples of discrete subgroups of SL(3, C) whose Kulkarni region of discontinuity in CP 2 has exactly three connected components, a fact that does not appear in complex dimension 1 (where it is known that the region of discontinuity of a Kleinian group acting on CP 1 has 0, 1, 2 or infinitely many connected components).
