Review text

Classification of group actions on surfaces is a question arising from the Nielsen realization problem. Nielsen gave a classification theorem for cyclic group actions on a closed, oriented, connected surface which shows that the action can be classified by their fixed point data. This paper considers certain group actions on noncompact, oriented, connected surfaces. The main difficulties are that a noncompact surface may have infinite genus, and the branch set of an action on a noncompact surface could be infinite. We introduce the end data and the type of a cluster end, and provide a complete classification of cyclic group actions on noncompact surfaces in terms of fixed point data, end data, and cluster end types.
