A Finite Group

It is well-known [5, 19] that every finite group can appear as a group of automorphisms of an algebraic Riemann surface. Hurwitz [9, 10] showed that the order of such a group can never exceed 84 (g – 1) provided that the genus g is ≧2. In fact, he showed that this bound is the best possible since groups of automorphisms of order 84 (g – 1) are obtainable for some surfaces of genus g. The problems considered by Hurwitz and others can be considered as particular cases of a more general question: Given a finite group G, what is the minimum genus of the surface for which it is a group of automorphisms? This question has been completely answered for cyclic groups by Harvey [7]. Wiman's bound 2(2g + 1), the best possible, materializes as a consequence. A further step was taken by Maclachlan who answered this question for non-cyclic Abelian groups.

Eichler Cohomology

We make a detailed study of the generalized modular forms of weight zero and their associated multiplier systems (characters) on an arbitrary subgroup Γ of finite index in the modular group. Among other things, we show that every generalized divisor on the compact Riemann surface associated to Γ is the divisor of a modular form (with unitary character) which is unique up to scalars. This extends a result of Petersson, and has applications to the Eichler cohomology.

In (4) G. Lewittes proved some theorems connecting automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface with the Weierstrass points of the surface, and in (5) he applied these results to elliptic modular functions. We refer the reader to these papers for definitions and details. It is our purpose in this note to point out that these results are of a purely algebraic nature, valid in arbitrary algebraic function fields of one variable over algebraically closed ground fields (with an obvious restriction on the characteristic). We shall also make use of the calculation carried out in (5) to obtain a rather easy extension of a theorem proved in (6, p. 312).

Tame Ramification

In (3), J. Lewittes establishes a connection between the number of fixed points of an automorphism of a compact Riemann surface and Weierstrass points on the surface; Lewittes′ techniques are analytic in nature. In (4), D. L. McQuillan proved the result by purely algebraic methods and extended it to arbitrary algebraic function fields in one variable over algebraically closed ground fields, but with restriction to tamely ramified places. In this paper we will give a different proof of the theorem and show that it is an elementary consequence of the Riemann-Hurwitz relative genus formula. Moreover, we can remove the tame ramification restriction.

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 .

AbstractIn this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface M in {\mathbb{R}^{3}} with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface {\overline{M}} with boundary punctured in a finite number of interior points and that M can be represented in terms of meromorphic data on its conformal completion {\overline{M}}. In particular, we demonstrate that M is a minimal surface of finite type and describe how this property permits a classification of the asymptotic behavior of M.
