In the nineteenth century, Hurwitz [8] and Wiman [14] obtained bounds for the order of the automorphism group and the order of each automorphism of an orientable and unbordered compact Klein surface (i. e., a compact Riemann surface) of topological genus g s 2. The corresponding results of bordered surfaces are due to May, [11], [12]. These may be considered as particular cases of the general problem of finding the minimum topological genus of a surface for which a given finite group G is a group of automorphisms. This problem was solved for cyclic and abelian G by Harvey [7] and Maclachlan [10], respectively, in the case of Riemann surfaces and by Bujalance [2], Hall [6] and Gromadzki [5] in the case of non-orientable and unbordered Klein surfaces. In dealing with bordered Klein surfaces, the algebraic genus—i. e., the topological genus of the canonical double covering, (see Alling-Greenleaf [1])—was minimized by Bujalance- Etayo-Gamboa-Martens [3] in the case where G is cyclic and by McCullough [13] in the abelian case.

In this paper we consider complex doubles of compact Klein surfaces that have large automorphism groups. It is known that a bordered Klein surface of algebraic genus g > 2 has at most 12(g − 1) automorphisms. Surfaces for which this bound is sharp are said to have maximal symmetry. The complex double of such a surface X is a compact Riemann surface X+ of genus g and it is easy to see that if G is the group of automorphisms of X then C2 × G is a group of automorphisms of X+. A natural question is whether X+ can have a group that strictly contains C2 × G. In [8] C. L. May claimed the following interesting result: there is a unique Klein surface X with maximal symmetry for which Aut X+ properly contains C2 × Aut X (where Aut X+ denotes the group of conformal and anticonformal automorphisms of X+).

Abstract We consider a compact Riemann surface R of arbitrary genus, with a finite number of non-overlapping quasicircles, which separate R into two subsets: a connected Riemann surface $$\Sigma $$ Σ , and the union $$\mathcal {O}$$ O of a finite collection of simply connected regions. We prove that the Schiffer integral operator mapping the Bergman space of anti-holomorphic one-forms on $$\mathcal {O}$$ O to the Bergman space of holomorphic forms on $$\Sigma $$ Σ is an isomorphism onto the exact one-forms, when restricted to the orthogonal complement of the set of forms on all of R. We then apply this to prove versions of the Plemelj–Sokhotski isomorphism and jump decomposition for such a configuration. Finally we obtain some approximation theorems for the Bergman space of one-forms and Dirichlet space of holomorphic functions on $$\Sigma $$ Σ by elements of Bergman space and Dirichlet space on fixed regions in R containing $$\Sigma $$ Σ .

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 Riemann surfaceXof genusg>1is said to bep-hyperellipticifXadmits a conformal involutionρ, for whichX/ρis an orbifold of genusp. If in additionXisq-hyperelliptic, then we say thatXispq-hyperelliptic. Here we study conformal actions onpq-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces with centralp- andq-hyperelliptic involutions.

AbstractThe genus spectrum of a finite group G is the set of all g such that G acts faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus g. It is an open problem to find a general description of the genus spectrum of the groups in interesting classes, such as the Abelian p-groups. Motivated by earlier work of Talu for odd primes, we develop a general combinatorial method, for arbitrary primes, to obtain a structured description of the so-called reduced genus spectrum of Abelian p-groups, including the reduced minimum genus. In particular, we determine the complete genus spectrum for a large subclass, namely, those having ‘large’ defining invariants. With our method we construct infinitely many counterexamples to a conjecture of Talu, which states that an Abelian p-group is recoverable from its genus spectrum. Finally, we give a series of examples of our method, in the course of which we prove, for example, that almost all elementary Abelian p-groups are uniquely determined by their minimum genus, and that almost all Abelian p-groups of exponent p2 are uniquely determined by their minimum genus and Kulkarni invariant.

AbstractLet be a compact Riemann surface, be the complement of a nonvoid finite subset of and A() be the ring of finite sums of meromorphic functions in with finite divisor. In this paper it is proved that every nonzero f ∈ A() can be decomposed as a product αβ, where α is either a unit or a product of powers of irreducible elements of A(), uniquely determined by f up to multiplication by units, and β is a product of functions of the type eφ – 1, with φ holomorphic and nonconstant in . Furthermore, a similar result is obtained for a certain class of subrings of A().

The purpose of this article is to prove the following theorem:Let n be a positive integer larger than or equal to 2, and let S be the unit sphere in the 2n + 1 dimensional Euclidean space. Given a compact Riemann surface, we can always find a conformal and minimal immersion of the surface into S whose image is not lying in any 2n — 1 dimensional hyperplane.This is a partial generalization of the result by R. L. Bryant. In this papers, he demonstrates the existence of a conformal and minimal immersion of a compact Riemann surface into S2n, which is generically 1:1, when n = 2 ([2]) and n = 3 ([1]).

We prove that the projection map of an orientable sphere bundle, over a compact Riemann surface, of any homotopy type can be realized as a harmonic morphism with totally geodesic fibres.

Let X be a bordered Klein surface, by which we mean a Klein surface with non-empty boundary. X is characterized topologically by its orientability, the number k of its boundary components and the genus p of the closed surface obtained by filling in all the holes. The algebraic genus g of X is defined by.If g≥2 it is known that if G is a group of automorphisms of X then |G|≤12(g-l) and that the upper bound is attained for infinitely many values of g ([4], [5]). A bordered Klein surface for which this upper bound is attained is said to have maximal symmetry. A group of 12(g-l) automorphisms of a bordered Klein surface of algebraic genus g is called an M*-group and it is known that a finite group G is an M*-group if and only if it is generated by 3 non-trivial elements T1, T2, T3 which obey the relations([4]).

We study the global dynamics of holomorphic correspondences [Formula: see text] on a compact Riemann surface [Formula: see text] in the case, so far not well understood, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have the same topological degree. In the absence of a mild and necessary obstruction that we call weak modularity, [Formula: see text] admits two canonical probability measures [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] which are invariant by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively. If the critical values of [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]) are not periodic, the backward (respectively, forward) orbit of any point [Formula: see text] equidistributes towards [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]), uniformly in [Formula: see text] and exponentially fast.
