On automorphism groups of compact Riemann surfaces with prescribed group structure (Q810668)

Let X be a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g\geq 2\) and let Aut(X) be the conformal automorphism group on X. Since an automorphism induces a linear transformation of the space of holomorphic differentials on X, there is a canonical representation \(\rho\) of Aut(X)\(\to GL(g,{\mathbb{C}})\). This paper is an announcement of a study on conditions for a non-abelian subgroup of GL(g,\({\mathbb{C}})\) of order 8 to be conjugate to the image under \(\rho\) of a subgroup of Aut(X).
