Let \(M\) be a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g\geq 0\). Let \(G\) be a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of \(M\) and \(C_0=\{1\},C_1,\ldots,C_h\) the conjugate classes of \(G\). If \(g_0\) is the genus of \(M/G\) and \(l_i\) is the number of branch points on \(M/G\) with respect to \(C_i\), we call \([g_0;l_1,\ldots,l_h]\) the \(r\)-signature of \(G\) with respect to \(C_1,\ldots,C_h\). The authors classify the finite subgroups of the automorphism group of the complex projective line with the help of \(r\)-signatures. Also, the authors suggest that their method may be available for the case that \(g\geq 1\). Let \(G\) be a finite abstract group and \(C_0=\{1\},C_1,\ldots,C_h\) the conjugate classes of \(G\). For non-negative integers \(g_0\), \(l_1,\ldots,l_h\) we call \([g_0;l_1,\ldots,l_h]\) a virtual \(r\)-signature of \(G\) with respect to \(C_1,\ldots,C_h\). A virtual \(r\)-signature of \(G\) is said to be realizable of genus \(g\) if it becomes the \(r\)-signature of \(\iota(G)\) for some compact Riemann surface \(M\) of genus \(g\) and some inclusion \(\iota\) that maps \(G\) into the automorphism group of \(M\). By using characters of \(G\) the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition for a given virtual \(r\)-signature of \(G\) to be realizable of genus zero.
