Abstract: Let pgeq3 be a prime integer and, for lgeq1, let GcongmathbbZpl be a group of conformal automorphisms of some closed Riemann surface S of genus ggeq2. By the Riemann-Hurwitz formula, either pleqg+1 or p=2g+1. If l=1 and p=2g+1, then S/G is the sphere with exactly three cone points and, if moreover pgeq7, then G is the unique p-Sylow subgroup of mAut(S). If l=1 and p=g+1, then S/G is the sphere with exactly four cone points and, if moreover pgeq13, then G is again the unique p-Sylow subgroup. The above unique facts permited many authors to obtain algebraic models and the corresponding groups mAut(S) in these situations. Now, let us assume lgeq2. If pgeq5, then either (i) plleqg−1 or (ii) S/G has genus zero, pl−1(p−3)leq2(g−1) and 2leqlleqr−1, where rgeq3 is the number of cone points of S/G. Let us assume we are in case (ii). If r=3, then l=2 and S happens to be the classical Fermat curve of degree p, whose group of automorphisms is well known. The next case, r=4, is studied in this paper. We provide an algebraic curve representation for S, a description of its group of conformal automorphisms, a discussion of its field of moduli and an isogenous decomposition of its jacobian variety.
