Embedding surfaces into S^3 with maximum symmetry

Abstract: We restrict our discussion to the orientable category. For

g > 1

, let

O E_{g}

be the maximum order of a finite group

G

acting on the closed surface

S i g m a_{g}

of genus

g

which extends over

(S^{3}, S i g m a_{g})

, where the maximum is taken over all possible embeddings

S i g m a_{g} h o o k r i g h t a r r o w S^{3}

. We will determine

O E_{g}

for each

g

, indeed the action realizing

O E_{g}

. In particular, with 23 exceptions,

O E_{g}

is

4 (g + 1)

if

g e k^{2}

or

4 (s q r t g + 1)^{2}

if

g = k^{2}

, and moreover

O E_{g}

can be realized by unknotted embeddings for all

g

except for

g = 21

and

481

.
