Group Actions on Riemann-Roch Space

Abstract: Let

; G;

be a group acting on a compact Riemann surface

; m a t h c a l X;

and

; D;

be a

; G

-invariant divisor on

; m a t h c a l X .;

The action of

; G;

on

; m a t h c a l X;

induces a linear representation

; L_{G} (D);

of

; G;

on the Riemann-Roch space associated to

; D .

In this paper we give some results on the decomposition of

; L_{G} (D);

as sum of complex irreducible representations of

; G,;

for

; D;

an effective non-special

; G

-invariant divisor. In particular, we give explicit formulae for the multiplicity of each complex irreducible factor in

; L_{G} (D);

. We work out some examples on well known families of curves.
