Historical note. A non-orientable surface of genus 2 (meaning 2 cross-caps) is popularly known as the Klein bottle. However, the term Klein surface comes from Felix Klein's book “On Riemann's Theory of Algebraic Functions and their Integrals” (1882) where he introduced such surfaces in the final chapter.

AbstractWe present a formula expressing Earle's twisted 1-cocycle on the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus ≥ 2 relative to a fixed base point, with coefficients in the first homology group of the surface. For this purpose we compare it with Morita's twisted 1-cocycle which is combinatorial. The key is the computation of these cocycles on a particular element of the mapping class group, which is topologically a hyperelliptic involution.

A compact bordered Klein surface X of algebraic genus g ≥ 2 has maximal symmetry [6] if its automorphism group A(X) is of order 12(g — 1), the largest possible. The bordered surfaces with maximal symmetry are clearly of special interest and have been studied in several recent papers ([6] and [9] among others).

Let G be a finite group. The real genusρ(G) is the minimum algebraic genus of any compact bordered Klein surface on which G acts. We classify the large groups of real genus p + 1, that is, the groups such that |G| ≥ 3(g - 1), where the genus action of G is on a bordered surface of genus g = p + 1. The group G must belong to one of four infinite families. In addition, we determine the order of the largest automorphism group of a surface of genus g for all g such that g = p + 1, where p is a prime.

Let G be a finite group. The real genus ρ(G) is the minimum algebraic genus of any compact bordered Klein surface on which G acts. Here we consider 2-groups acting on bordered Klein surfaces. The main focus is determining the real genus of each of the 51 groups of order 32. We also obtain some general results about the partial presentations that 2-groups acting on bordered surfaces must have. In addition, we obtain genus formulas for some families of 2-groups and show that if G is a 2-group with positive real genus, then ρ(G) ≡ 1 mod 4.

A compact bordered Klein surface of genus g ≥ 2 has maximal symmetry [4] if its automorphism group is of order 12(g − 1), the largest possible. An M*-group [8] acts on a bordered surface with maximal symmetry. The first important result about these groups was that they must have a certain partial presentation [8, p. 5]. However, research has tended to focus more on the surfaces with maximal symmetry than on the M*-groups, and results about these groups typically deal with existence.
