On the orders of automorphisms of a closed Riemann surface

Kenji Nakagawa

Vol. 115 (1984), No. 2, 435–443
Abstract

Let S be a closed Riemann surface of genus g (2). It is known that the maximum value of the orders of automorphisms of S is 4g + 2. In this paper we determine the orders of automorphisms of S which are greater than or equal to 3g, and characterize those Riemann surfaces having the corresponding automorphisms. Except for several cases, such Riemann surfaces are determined uniquely up to conformal equivalence.
