This lecture discusses proper actions of groups on Riemann surfaces, focusing on examples where the stabilizer of a point is a finite cyclic group. It also covers the definition of quotients, with examples of non-proper actions and the importance of defining charts around fixed points. The lecture concludes with an introduction to algebraic curves via square roots.
