Review text

Let \(\mathbb D\) be the complex unit disc, and let \(G\) be the group of analytic automorphisms of \(\mathbb D\). A Fuchsian group is a discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\) of \(G\) with (compact) quotient space. If \(\Gamma\) is such a group then its algebraic structure and the topological structure of the quotient analytical orbifold \(\mathbb D/\Gamma\) is given by the signature \((g;[m_1,\dots,m_r])\). Assume that \(S\) is a (compact) Riemann surface of genus greater than \(2\), with \(S=\mathbb D/\Gamma\). Let us suppose that \(S\) has an automorphism group \(G\) in such a way that the orbifold \(S/G\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb D/\Gamma'\) where where \(\Gamma'\) is a Fuchsian group such that \(\Gamma\vartriangleleft\Gamma'\) and \(\Gamma'\) has signature \(\sigma\) appearing in the list of non-finitely maximal signatures of Fuchsian groups of Theorems 1 and 2 in the paper [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 6(2) (1972; Zbl 0251.20052)] by \textit{D. Singerman}. In the paper under review the authors establish an algebraic condition for \(G\) such that if \(G\) satisfies such a condition then the group of automorphisms of \(S\) is strictly greater than \(G\), i.e., the surface \(S\) is more symmetric than it is supposed. In these cases, analytic information on \(S\) is established from topological and algebraic conditions.
