A Riemann surface [Formula: see text] having field of moduli ℝ, but not a field of definition, is called pseudo-real. This means that [Formula: see text] has anticonformal automorphisms, but none of them is an involution. A Riemann surface is said to be plane if it can be described by a smooth plane model of some degree d ≥ 4 in [Formula: see text]. We characterize pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces [Formula: see text], whose conformal automorphism group Aut+([Formula: see text]) is PGL3(ℂ)-conjugate to a finite non-trivial group that leaves invariant infinitely many points of [Formula: see text]. In particular, we show that such pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces exist only if Aut+([Formula: see text]) is cyclic of even order n dividing the degree d. Explicit families of pseudo-real-plane Riemann surfaces are given for any degree d = 2pm with m > 1 odd, p prime and n = d/p.

Using the definition of a Riemann surface, as given for example by Ahlfors and Sario, one can prove that all Riemann surfaces are orientable. However by modifying their definition one can obtain structures on non-orientable surfaces. In fact nonorientable Riemann surfaces have been considered by Klein and Teichmüller amongst others. The problem we consider here is to look for the largest possible groups of automorphisms of compact non-orientable Riemann surfaces and we find that this throws light on the corresponding problem for orientable Riemann surfaces, which was first considered by Hurwitz [1]. He showed that the order of a group of automorphisms of a compact orientable Riemann surface of genus g cannot be bigger than 84(g – 1). This bound he knew to be attained because Klein had exhibited a surface of genus 3 which admitted PSL (2, 7) as its automorphism group, and the order of PSL(2, 7) is 168 = 84(3–1). More recently Macbeath [5, 3] and Lehner and Newman [2] have found infinite families of compact orientable surfaces for which the Hurwitz bound is attained, and in this paper we shall exhibit some new families.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to study hyperelliptic curves with extra involutions. The locusLgof such genus-ghyperelliptic curves is ag-dimensional subvariety of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curvesHg. The authors present a birational parameterization ofLgvia dihedral invariants, and show how these invariants can be used to determine the field of moduli of points p ∈ Lg. They conjecture that for p ∈Hgwith |Aut(p)| > 2, the field of moduli is a field of definition, and they prove this conjecture for any point p ∈Lgsuch that the Klein 4-group is embedded in the reduced automorphism group ofp. Further, forg= 3, they show that for every moduli point p ∈H3such that |Aut(p)| > 4, the field of moduli is a field of definition. A rational model of the curve over its field of moduli is provided.

In this work we give pairs of generators (x, y) for the alternating groups An, 5 ≤ n ≤ 19, such that they determine the minimal genus of a Riemann surface on which An acts as the automorphism group. Using these results we prove that A15 is the unique of these groups that is an H*-group, i.e., the groups achieving the upper bound of the order of an automorphism group acting on non-orientable unbordered surfaces.

Let [Formula: see text] denote the locus of hyperelliptic curves of genus g whose automorphism group contains a subgroup isomorphic to G. We study spaces [Formula: see text] for G≅ℤn, ℤ2⊕ℤn, ℤ2⊕A4, or SL2(3). We show that for G≅ℤn, ℤ2⊕ℤn, the space [Formula: see text] is a rational variety and find generators of its function field. For G≅ℤ2⊕A4, SL2(3) we find a necessary condition in terms of the coefficients, whether or not the curve belongs to [Formula: see text]. Further, we describe algebraically the loci of such curves for g≤12 and show that for all curves in these loci, the field of moduli is a field of definition.

AbstractLet G be a soluble group of derived length 3. We show in this paper that if G acts as an automorphism group on a compact Riemann surface of genus g ≠ 3,5,6,10 then it has at most 24(g — 1) elements. Moreover, given a positive integer n we show the existence of a Riemann surface of genus g = n4 + 1 that admits such a group of automorphisms of order 24(g — 1), whilst a surface of specified genus can admit such a group of automorphisms of order 48(g — 1), 40(g — 1), 30(g — 1) and 36(g — 1) respectively.

A compact Riemann surface [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text] is called pseudo-real if it admits an anticonformal automorphism but no anticonformal involution. In this paper, we study pseudo-real [Formula: see text]-gonal Riemann surfaces of genera greater or equal to two; these surfaces have anticonformal automorphisms of prime order [Formula: see text] such that the quotient spaces have genus [Formula: see text].

The purpose of this article is to utilize some exiting words in the fundamental group of a Riemann surface to acquire new words that are represented by filling closed geodesics.

AbstractThe paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Padé approximation of Weyl–Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the Riemann surface and a measure on it, together with the additional datum of a local coordinate near a point and a divisor of degree g. The denominators of the resulting Padé-like approximation also satisfy an orthogonality relation and are sections of appropriate line bundles. A Riemann–Hilbert problem for a square matrix of rank two is shown to characterize these orthogonal sections, in a similar fashion to the ordinary orthogonal polynomial case. The second part extends this idea to explore its connection to integrable systems. The same data can be used to define a pairing between two sequences of line bundles. The locus in the deformation space where the pairing becomes degenerate for fixed degree coincides with the zeros of a “tau” function. We show how this tau function satisfies the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy with respect to either deformation parameters, and a certain modification of the 2-Toda hierarchy when considering the whole sequence of tau functions. We also show how this construction is related to the Krichever construction of algebro-geometric solutions.

In the first part of this paper we find supergravity solutions corresponding to branes on worldvolumes of the form Rd×Σ where Σ is a Riemann surface. These theories arise when we wrap branes on holomorphic Riemann surfaces inside K3 or CY manifolds. In some cases the theory at low energies is a conformal field theory with two less dimensions. We find some non-singular supersymmetric compactifications of M-theory down to AdS5. We also propose a criterion for permissible singularities in supergravity solutions. In the second part of this paper, which can be read independently of the first, we show that there are no non-singular Randall-Sundrum or de-Sitter compactifications for large class of gravity theories.
