Characters and Automorphism Groups of Compact Riemann Surfaces

By Thomas Breuer

The author uses modern methods from computational group theory and representation theory to treat this classical topic of function theory. He provides classifications of all automorphism groups up to genus 48. The book also classifies the ordinary characters for several groups, arising from the action of automorphisms on the space of holomorphic abelian differentials of a compact Reimann surface. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in group theory, representation theory, complex analysis and computer algebra.
