Abstract: Let $mathcalX$ be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, nonsingular) algebraic curve of genus $gge2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $mathbbK$ of odd characteristic $pge0$, and let $mAut(mathcalX)$ be the group of all automorphisms of $mathcalX$ which fix $mathbbK$ element-wise. For any a subgroup $G$ of $mAut(mathcalX)$ whose order is a power of an odd prime $d$ other than $p$, the bound proven by Zomorrodian for Riemann surfaces is $|G|leq9(g-1)$ where the extremal case can only be obtained for $d=3$. We prove Zomorrodian's result for any $mathbbK$. The essential part of our paper is devoted to extremal $3$-Zomorrodian curves $mathcalX$. Two cases are distinguished according as the quotient curve $mathcalX/Z$ for a central subgroup $Z$ of $mAut(mathcalX)$ of order $3$ is either elliptic, or not. For elliptic type extremal $3$-Zomorrodian curves $mathcalX$, we completely determine the two possibilities for the abstract structure of $G$ using deeper results on finite $3$-groups. We also show infinite families of extremal $3$-Zomorrodian curves for both types, elliptic or non-elliptic. Our paper does not adapt methods from the theory of Riemann surfaces, nevertheless it sheds a new light on the connection between Riemann surfaces and their automorphism groups.
