Simpson's Theory and Superrigidity of Complex Hyperbolic Lattices

We attack a conjecture of J. Rogawski: any cocompact lattice in $S U (2, 1)$ for which the ball quotient $X = B^2 / \Gamma$ satisfies $b_1 (X) = 0$ and $H^{1, 1} (X) \cap H^2 (X, \bbq) \approx \bbq$ is arithmetic. We prove the Archimedian suprerigidity for representation of $\Gamma$ is $S L (3, \bbc)$.
