Abstract: We first demonstrate a family of isomorphisms between complex hyperbolic triangle groups and outline a systematic approach classifying the groups. Then we describe conditions that determine the discreteness of certain groups, in particular we prove a slightly weaker version of a conjecture given by Schwartz. Finally we collect together a list of known discrete triangle groups and propose some good candidates for discrete groups.
