Automorphism groups of real algebraic curves of genus 3 (Q1076753)

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus 3, defined over the real field \({\mathbb{R}}\). The automorphism group of C is studied in this paper. In a paper by the same authors [Mich. Math. J. 33, 55-74 (1986; see 20043 below)], the hyperelliptic case was solved, the authors found 5 abstract groups in that case. In the paper under review, a full classification is announced, in which 8 abstract groups appear. A sketch of one of the new cases is given, full proofs appeared in Mem. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fis. Nat. Madrid, Ser. Cienc. Exactas 19 (1985; see the following review)].
