Consider, in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of a fixed genus, the subset of surfaces with non-trivial automorphisms. Of special interest are the numerous subsets of surfaces admitting an action of a given finite group, $G$, acting with a specific signature. In a previous study we declared two Riemann surfaces to be \emph{modular companions} i...

Schottky space , where is an integer, is a connected complex orbifold of dimension ; it provides a parametrization of the ‐conjugacy classes of Schottky groups of rank . The branch locus , consisting of those conjugacy classes of Schottky groups being a finite index proper normal subgroup of some Kleinian group, is known to be connected. If , then...

The complex orbifold structure of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus g (\(g\ge 2\)) produces a stratification into complex subvarieties named equisymmetric strata. Each equisymmetric stratum is formed by the surfaces where the group of automorphisms acts in a topologically equivalent way. The Riemann surfaces in the equisymmetric strata...

Schottky space S g , where g ≥ 2 is an integer, is a connected complex orbifold of dimension 3(g − 1); it provides a parametrization of the PSL 2 (C)-conjugacy classes of Schottky groups Γ of rank g. The branch locus B g ⊂ S g , consisting of those conjugacy classes of Schottky groups being a finite index proper normal subgroup of some Kleinian gro...

The moduli space M g \mathcal {M}_{g} of surfaces of genus g ≥ 2 g\geq 2 is the space of conformal equivalence classes of closed Riemann surfaces of genus g g . This space is a complex, quasi-projective variety of dimension 3 g − 3 3g-3 . The singularity set of the moduli space, which is roughly the same as the branch locus , becomes increasingly c...

Given a compact Riemann surface $X$ with an action of a finite group $G$, the group algebra $\QQ[G]$ provides an isogenous decomposition of its Jacobian variety $JX$, known as the group algebra decomposition of $JX$. We consider the set of equisymmetric Riemann surfaces $\mathcal{M}(2n-1, D_{2n}, \theta)$ for all $n\geq 2$. We study the group algeb...

In this paper we find the maximal order of an automorphism of a trigonal Riemann surface of genus g, g⩾5. We find that this order is smaller for generic than for cyclic trigonal Riemann surfaces, showing that generic trigonal surfaces have “less symmetry” than cyclic trigonal surfaces. Finally we prove that the maximal order is attained for infinit...

We introduce a theory of hypermaps on surfaces with boundary. A topological hypermap can be associated to an algebraic hypermap which is a quintuple (G,Ω,c 1 ,c 2 ,c 3 ), where G is a group, generated by three involutions c 1 , c 2 and c 3 , that acts transitively on the set Ω. Conversely, the topological hypermap can be reconstructed from the alge...
