In hyperbolic geometry, the Klein quartic, named after Felix Klein, is a compact Riemann surface of genus 3 with the highest possible order automorphism group for this genus, namely order 168 orientation-preserving automorphisms, and 168 × 2 = 336 automorphisms if orientation may be reversed. As such, the Klein quartic is the Hurwitz surface of lowest possible genus; see Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem. Its (orientation-preserving) automorphism group is isomorphic to PSL(2, 7), the second-smallest non-abelian simple group after the alternating group A5. The quartic was first described in .
Klein's quartic occurs in many branches of mathematics, in contexts including representation theory, homology theory, octonion multiplication, Fermat's Last Theorem, and the Stark–Heegner theorem on imaginary quadratic number fields of class number one; see for a survey of properties.
Originally, the "Klein quartic" referred specifically to the subset of the complex projective plane P2(C) defined by an algebraic equation. This has a specific Riemannian metric (that makes it a minimal surface in P2(C)), under which its Gaussian curvature is not constant. But more commonly (as in this article) it is now thought of as any Riemann surface that is conformally equivalent to this algebraic curve, and especially the one that is a quotient of the hyperbolic plane H2 by a certain cocompact group G that acts freely on H2 by isometries. This gives the Klein quartic a Riemannian metric of constant curvature −1 that it inherits from H2. This set of conformally equivalent Riemannian surfaces is precisely the same as all compact Riemannian surfaces of genus 3 whose conformal automorphism group is isomorphic to the unique simple group of order 168. This group is also known as PSL(2, 7), and also as the isomorphic group PSL(3, 2). By covering space theory, the group G mentioned above is isomorphic to the fundamental group of the compact surface of genus 3.
It is important to distinguish two different forms of the quartic.

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.
En théorie des nombres et en géométrie algébrique une courbe modulaire désigne la surface de Riemann, ou la courbe algébrique correspondante, construite comme quotient du demi-plan de Poincaré H sous l'action de certains sous-groupes Γ d'indice fini dans le groupe modulaire. La courbe obtenue est généralement notée Y(Γ). On appelle Γ le niveau de la courbe Y(Γ). Depuis Gorō Shimura, on sait que ces courbes admettent des équations à coefficients dans un corps cyclotomique, qui dépend du niveau Γ.
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.
Let G be a finite subgroup of SU(4) such that its elements have age at most one. In the first part of this paper, we define K-theoretic stable pair invariants on a crepant resolution of the affine quotient C4/G, and conjecture a closed formula for their ge ...
The RSA cryptosystem introduced in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Len Adleman is the most commonly deployed public-key cryptosystem. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) introduced in the mid 80's by Neal Koblitz and Victor Miller is becoming an increasin ...
When learning from data, leveraging the symmetries of the domain the data lies on is a principled way to combat the curse of dimensionality: it constrains the set of functions to learn from. It is more data efficient than augmentation and gives a generaliz ...
