[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00069.] Before giving the main result obtained in this work we should remember the definition of an admissible sequence: Consider the sequence \(N_{a,b}: g \to ag + b\), for \(g = 2,3,\dots,\) with \(a\), \(b\) rational numbers and \(a > 0\). This sequence is admissible if for infinitely many values of \(g\) the number \(ag + b\) is the order of an automorphism group \(G\) of a compact Riemann surface \(X_ g\) of genus \(g\). When this occurs the pair \((X_ g,G)\) is said to belong to \(N_{a,b}\). In his former works Kulkarni showed that every admissible sequence of the form \(a(g - 1)\) arises from a fixed finite number of cocompact Fuchsian groups. He also obtained some results in the case that \(ag + b\) is an admissible sequence. In this paper the authors state the following result: Let \(N_{a,b}\) be a large admissible sequence with \(a + b \neq 0\). Then \(2b/a\) is a non- negative integer and either 1) \(a = 4, 5, 6\) or 8, or 2) \(a = 4c/(c - 1)\) for some integer \(c\) where \(c = 4\) or \(c \geq 6\), in which case \(a\) is not an integer. They also exhibit several families of automorphism groups with the values restricted as above. In particular they show that the sequence \(N_{8,b}\) is admissible whenever \(b\) is an odd positive multiple of 8.
