We shall consider an irreducible, non-singular, totally geodesic holomorphic curve N in a compact quotient M = Γ\D of the unit ball D = {(z, w):|z|2 + |w|2 < 1} in C2 with the Kahler structure provided by the Bergman metric. The main result of this paper is an explicit construction of the harmonic form of type (1,1) which is dual to N. Our construction is as follows. Let p:D → Γ\D be the universal covering map. Choose a component D1 in the inverse image of N under p. The choice of D1 corresponds to choosing an embedding of the fundamental group of N into Γ. We denote the image by Γ1. Let π : D → D1 be the fiber bundle obtained by exponentiating the normal bundle of D1 in D. Let μ be the volume form of D1.
