Let Σg be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus g ≥ 2. We ask for a parametrisation of the discrete, faithful, totally loxodromic representations in the deformation space Hom(π1(Σg), SU(3, 1))/SU(3, 1). We show that such a representation, under some hypothesis, can be determined by 30g − 30 real parameters.
