In mathematics, Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem bounds the order of the group of automorphisms, via orientation-preserving conformal mappings, of a compact Riemann surface of genus g > 1, stating that the number of such automorphisms cannot exceed 84(g − 1). A group for which the maximum is achieved is called a Hurwitz group, and the corresponding Riemann surface a Hurwitz surface. Because compact Riemann surfaces are synonymous with non-singular complex projective algebraic curves, a Hurwitz surface can also be called a Hurwitz curve. The theorem is named after Adolf Hurwitz, who proved it in .
Hurwitz's bound also holds for algebraic curves over a field of characteristic 0, and over fields of positive characteristic p>0 for groups whose order is coprime to p, but can fail over fields of positive characteristic p>0 when p divides the group order. For example, the double cover of the projective line y2 = xp −x branched at all points defined over the prime field has genus g=(p−1)/2 but is acted on by the group SL2(p) of order p3−p.
One of the fundamental themes in differential geometry is a trichotomy between the Riemannian manifolds of positive, zero, and negative curvature K. It manifests itself in many diverse situations and on several levels. In the context of compact Riemann surfaces X, via the Riemann uniformization theorem, this can be seen as a distinction between the surfaces of different topologies:
X a sphere, a compact Riemann surface of genus zero with K > 0;
X a flat torus, or an elliptic curve, a Riemann surface of genus one with K = 0;
and X a hyperbolic surface, which has genus greater than one and K < 0.
While in the first two cases the surface X admits infinitely many conformal automorphisms (in fact, the conformal automorphism group is a complex Lie group of dimension three for a sphere and of dimension one for a torus), a hyperbolic Riemann surface only admits a discrete set of automorphisms.

This course is an introduction to the theory of Riemann surfaces. Riemann surfaces naturally appear is mathematics in many different ways: as a result of analytic continuation, as quotients of complex
In geometry, a Schwarz triangle, named after Hermann Schwarz, is a spherical triangle that can be used to tile a sphere (spherical tiling), possibly overlapping, through reflections in its edges. They were classified in . These can be defined more generally as tessellations of the sphere, the Euclidean plane, or the hyperbolic plane. Each Schwarz triangle on a sphere defines a finite group, while on the Euclidean or hyperbolic plane they define an infinite group.
thumb|La quartique de Klein est le quotient d'un pavage uniforme triangulaire d'ordre 7. En géométrie hyperbolique, la quartique de Klein, du nom du mathématicien allemand Felix Klein, est une surface de Riemann compacte de genre 3. Elle a le groupe d'automorphismes d'ordre le plus élevé possible parmi les surfaces de Riemann de genre 3, à savoir le groupe simple d'ordre 168. La quartique de Klein est en conséquence la de genre le plus bas possible. Surface de Bolza Surface de Macbeath Théorème de Stark-Hee
En mathématiques, la surface de Bolza (du nom d'Oskar Bolza) est une surface de Riemann compacte de genre 2. Elle a le groupe d'automorphismes conformes d'ordre le plus élevé possible parmi les surfaces de Riemann de genre 2, à savoir le groupe O de l'octaèdre, d'ordre 48.

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...
We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group GG associated with nonsingular GG-spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a hyperbolic locally ...

We study the energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface S where a short closed geodesic is pinched. If the geodesic separates the surface into two parts, then the Jacobian variety of S develops into a variety that split ...
