The automorphism groups of the hyperelliptic surfaces (Q917637): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the automorphism groups of the seven classes of the so- called hyperelliptic surfaces are calculated. Writing these as (E\(\times F)/G\), where E and F are elliptic curves and G is a finite group of translations of E acting on F not only as translations, covering space theory is then used to calculate the automorphisms. Letting M be the centralizer of G in Aut(E)\(\times Aut(F)\), it is then noted that in all cases M is generated by its E-translations, its F-translations, its E- automorphisms, and its F-automorphisms. Finally, two tables list the automorphism groups and generators for each.
