1 EQUTIONS OF RIEMNN SURFES OF GENUS 4, 5, ND 6 WITH LRGE UTOMORPHISM GROUPS DVID SWINRSKI ND DVID SWINRSKI bstract. We say a Riemann surface has a large automorphism group if # ut() > 4(g ). We find equations of all genus 4 and 5 Riemann surfaces with large automorphism groups, and all but two of the genus 6 Riemann surfaces with large automorphisms groups. The strategy used is based on the Eichler trace formula and the projection formula from the character theory of finite groups. It is not completely algorithmic, but surprisingly yields enough information that we can finish each example by hand. In the last section we discuss how an algorithm for computing flattening stratifications could make the last step algorithmic as well. Every finite group G arises as a group of automorphisms of some smooth compact Riemann surface S (or complex algebraic curve ) or as the full automorphism group of a punctured Riemann surface [3, 7]. However, the property of #G being large compared to the genus g of S is special. general curve has no nontrivial automorphisms at all. There is the well-known bound due to Hurwitz: #G 84(g ), but most curves with automorphisms do not even come close to this. For instance, in genus 3, the Hurwitz bound is 68, but only five curves have automorphism groups satisfying #G > 4. We will call an automorphism group large if #G > 4(g ). y Riemann-Hurwitz, this implies that the quotient curve is P, and the quotient morphism branches over 3 or 4 points. Using Fuchsian group theory, it is possible to set up computer searches for large automorphism groups. lgebraists have carried this out [, ] and published lists of (G, g) such that there is a curve of genus g with large automorphism group G, but we don t know equations of all these curves. In other words, there is no published algorithm yet which given the group produces equations of the curve. In this note I will outline a non-algorithmic strategy for producing equations of Riemann surfaces with automorphisms under their canonical embeddings (or for curves, an equation of the form y = f(x) instead). Surprisingly, although my strategy is non-algorithmic, the algorithmic steps generally get us close enough to the answer that we can finish them by hand. Section presents an example which is very typical in this sense. In particular, I am able to find all of the genus 4 and 5 Riemann surfaces with large automorphism groups, and all but two of the genus 6 Riemann surfaces with large automorphism groups. Many of these example are classically known, but others may be new, and to my knowledge, this is the first time they are all collected in one place. In Section I outline the strategy in more detail. In Section I apply the strategy to one example; this section serves both as an illustration of the strategy and a mini-tutorial on how to use my Magma code. Section 3 is intended to be a reference work. In the final section, Section 4, I will discuss an idea for how the final step could be made algorithmic, too; in theory, this could lead to an algorithm for finding equations of any Riemann surface with automorphisms. (The missing ingredient is knowing how to compute a so-called flattening stratification.).. cknowledgements. I would like to thank the undergraduates from my Introductory VIGRE Research Group held in Fall at the University of Georgia: Eddie eck, Zachary Freeland, Tyler Johnson, Malik Obeidin, Jacob Rooney, and Lev Tovstopyat-Nelip, where I began the main programming of this work was begun. I am also very grateful to the computational algebra group at Date: July 5,.
2 DVID SWINRSKI ND DVID SWINRSKI the University of Sydney for hosting me for a visit, where a great deal of this work was completed. large number of people have provided supplied tips, conversations, and encouragement over a number of years, especially Marston onder, Johan de Jong, my Ksir, Ian Morrison, Jen Paulhus, Roy Smith, Robert Varley, and John Voight... Online. My webpage for this project is davids/ivrg/results.html This page contains links to the latest version of my Magma code, the main tables below, and several files of notes on specific examples.. The strategy Input: a finite group G, the genus g, and the ramification data (e,..., e r ) of the quotient morphism P. For 4 g this data is available in []. Marston onder has also published a list on his website going to g = ; however, this includes many groups which are not the full automorphism group of a Riemann surface. Step. ompute the classes and character table of G, and find a set of surface kernel generators. The notion of surface kernel generators has turned out to be very useful in the study of curves with automorphisms. Definition. set of surface kernel generators for the group G and ramification data (e,..., e r ) is a sequence of elements M i G such that () M i : i =,..., r = G; () Order(M i ) = e i ; and (3) M M M r =. We will use the surface kernel generators for Steps, 3 and 4 below. Step. Test for ity. There are two reasons why it is useful to know early on whether the curve is. First, if is, then the canonical divisor does not define an embedding. Second, curves can be specified by an equation of the form y = f(x), and their equations are well understood [3, 4]. So it is useful to know this gonality in advance, so that we don t try to find canonical equations when we shouldn t, and so that we can take advantage of what is known about curves. The curve is if and only if G contains a central involution σ with g + fixed points. The number of fixed points can be computed using Lemma.5 of [] (or Theorem 7 of [8]): Theorem. Let σ be an automorphism of order h > of a Riemann surface X of genus g. Let (M,..., M r ) be a set of surface kernel generators for X. Let Fix X,u (σ) be the set of fixed points of X where σ acts on a neighborhood of the fixed point by z exp(πiu/h)z. Then Fix X,u (σ) = G (σ) M i s.t. h m i σ M m i u/h i Thus, we can find all the central involutions in G, and compute the number of fixed points for each one (if there are any). If the curve is, we turn to [3] to get the equation of the form y = f(x), and then we can turn to [4] if we want to get the equations of undering a linear series. If the curve is not, we proceed. m i

If is non-, then its canonical divisor defines an embedding, and the canonical ideal is generated at worst by quadrics and cubics. More specifically, by Petri s Theorem, the canonical ideal of a general curve is generated by quadrics, and it is only for curves and plane quintics that additional cubic generators are needed. So it is helpful to know in advance whether the curve is. osta and Izquierdo give criteria for testing for ity [4, Prop.,]. Step 4: Use the Eichler Trace Formula to compute the character of the action of G on S as well as on I and I 3. Proposition.3 (Eichler Trace Formula [5]) Suppose g, and let σ be a nontrivial automorphism of of order h. Write χ m for the character of the representation of ut() on H (, mk). Then + ζh u Fix,u (σ) ζ u if m = u<h h (u,h)= χ m (σ) = Fix,u (σ) ζu(m%h) h ζh u if m u<h (u,h)= Let S = Sym H (, K). y Noether s Theorem, the sequence I m S m H (, mk) is exact for all m, and so we can compute the character of the action of G on I and I 3 from knowing χ, χ, χ 3, Sym χ and Sym 3 χ. Step 5: Test whether is a plane quintic. I don t know a necessary and sufficient condition for testing for plane quintics. However, these only occur in genus 6, and then the canonical model lies on the Veronese surface in P 5. One way to detect plane quintics, then, is to see whether H (, K) = Sym V for some three-dimensional (not necessarily irreducible) represention V of G. In practice, this sufficed when studying all the genus 6 curves with large automorphism groups. Step 6: Obtain matrix generators for the action of G on H (, K). In a few cases, Magma was unable to find matrix generators for the required representation. I believe this is an implementation error, not an algorithmic one. In these cases, I was able to find the needed representation in [], [], or by using GP. Step 7: Use the projection formula to obtain candidate quadrics (and cubics, if applicable). We use the projection formula (cf. e.g. [6, Formula (.3)]): the projection of V onto its isotypical component V m i i is given by π i = dim V i G χ Vi (g)g. t this stage, the process becomes non-algorithmic. In general, an irreducible representation V i will show up with multiplicity in S or S 3. Frequently, some of the copies of V i will belong to I or I 3 while others will belong to H (, K) or H (, 3K), and I don t know an algorithmic way to decide how to split V m i i between them. However, at this stage, we may proceed following our intuition from algebraic geometry and frequently still obtain the equations we seek. In the next section we work through an example. g G Here is an example which is very typical.. n example: genus 5, G = (3, 8)
4 4 DVID SWINRSKI ND DVID SWINRSKI There is a one-parameter family of Riemann surfaces of genus 5 whose full automorphism group is the group G = (3, 8) in the notation of the GP library of small finite groups.

This function returns the images of the generators G. G.5 under the representation G H (, K) as well as lists of candidate quadrics and cubics. We can run the example at hand via MatGens38,Q,:=RunExample(G,5,[,,,4]); First, Magma computes the conjugacy classes and character table of G.

Since by [] we know that this curve is unique, it is only necessary to study one set of surface kernel generators. Magma then tests whether is. SKGs: [ G.3 * G.4, G. * G.4, G. * G. * G.4, G. * G.3 ] Is? false Next, Magma computes the G-module structure of several relevant G-modules. We list this information by the multiplicities of the irreducible representation (as ordered in the character table), i.e. if V = V m + Vr mr, then the vector of multiplicities (m,..., m r ) is displayed below: Multiplicities of irreducibles in relevant G-modules:

If the multiplicity of any irreducible in I 3 exceeds its multiplicity in I S, then we cannot have I 3 I S, and so the curve must either be or a plane quintic. Remark: It would be interesting to know if the converse is true i.e. if is or a plane quintic and #G > 4(g ), then is there always an irreducible representation V i whose multiplicity in I 3 exceeds its multiplicity in I S? This would give a test for gonality that, to my knowledge, is new. Next Magma finds matrix generators for the representation ρ : G H (, K). First, it returns the list ρ(g.i), where G.i is a generator of the group G in whatever format Magma has it stored. Next, it returns ρ(m i ) for the surface kernel generators M i : Matrix generators for action on H^(,K): Field K yclotomic Field of order 3 and degree 6 [ [- ] [ ] [ - ] [ ] [ ], [ ] [ - ] [ ] [ ] [ - ], [ - ] [ ] [ ] [ -z^8] [ z^8 ] ] Surface Kernel Generators: [ [ - ] [ - ] [ - ] [ z^8] [ -z^8 ], [- ] [ - ] [ ]

I don t know an algorithmic way to choose the necessary one-dimensional subspaces of these three two-dimensional subspaces. However, we can proceed intuitively. The canonical ideal of a curve should contain no monomials. In fact, let us suppose that none of the coefficients µ i is zero. We can divide each equation by the coefficient of the first term to set µ = µ 3 = µ 5 = : I = a + µ (b + c ), bc + µ 4 (d e ), (b c ) + µ 6 (de)
8 8 DVID SWINRSKI ND DVID SWINRSKI Next, note that by scaling a, we may assume that µ =, and by scaling d and e, we may assume that µ 4 =. Thus we obtain I = a + b + c, bc + d e, b c + µ 6 (de). Now µ 6 is the only remaining unknown coefficient. However, we are expecting a -dimensional family of curves with this automorphism group, and we have obtained a candidate pencil. The last step is to check that some member of this pencil is a smooth curve. If there is, then by Zariski-openness of smoothness, a general member of this pencil is smooth. > K<z>:=yclotomicField(3); > P4<a,b,c,d,e>:=ProjectiveSpace(K,4); > mu:=; > :=Scheme(P4,[a^+b^+c^,b*c+d^-e^,b^-c^+mu*d*e]); > Dimension(X); > IsSingular(X); false s a final check, we have Magma test that the matrix generators of G H (, K) are automorphisms of by running commands of the following type: > utomorphism(,matgens38[]); Mapping from: Sch: to Sch: with equations : -a b -c e d and inverse -a b -c e d (Magma would return an error if this matrix did not define an automorphism of.) 3. Results We list tables of equations of genus 4 and 5 curves with large automorphism groups, as well as the genus 6 curves with large automorphism groups whose quotient morphisms branch over 3 points of P. Note: in the first column of each of the following tables, we list: the number assigned to this curve in [], the GP identifier of the finite group (the first number is the order of the group), the ramification data of the quotient morphism, and whether the curve is,, or a plane quintic.

14 4 DVID SWINRSKI ND DVID SWINRSKI 4. an we use flattening stratifications to make the last step algorithmic? It is known that the group S 4 is the automorphism group of a -dimensional family of genus 6 curves. The quotient curve is P, and the quotient morphism branches at 4 points with ramifications indices,, 3, 4. Moreover, these curves are neither nor. Let be a member of this family. We can use the Eichler trace formula to find the action of S 4 on H (, mk) for m =,. Moreover, we can find matrix generators for the action on H (, K):,,, and we can decompose the action on quadrics in these variables to get F := a + ab ac + b bc + c + d + df + e + ef + f ; F := µ (a ac b + bc) + µ (ad ae af bd be 3bf + ce + cf) + µ 3 (8de + 4df + 4ef + f ) F 3 := µ (ab + ac + /b /c ) + µ (/ad /ae + /af + bd + be + 3/bf 3/cd /ce cf) + µ 3 (d de + e f ) F 4 := µ 4 (a c ) + µ 5 (ad + bd be cd) + µ 6 (d + df e ef) F 5 := µ 4 (ab ac bc + c ) + µ 5 ( /ad /ae /af /bd + /be + cd + /cf) + µ 6 ( d df + e + ef) F 6 := µ 4 (b c ) + µ 5 (ad + ae + af + bd + bf cd cf) + µ 6 (d e ef f ) Let S = P P, where the first copy of P has coordinates [µ : µ : µ 3 ], and the second copy has coordinates [µ 4 : µ 5 : µ 6 ]. For each s S, let I s be the ideal F,... F 6. We are guaranteed that there exists at least one s S such that I s defines a smooth curve in P 5. How can we find such a point s? Note that most values of s define empty subschemes of P 5. It is a theorem (due originally to either Mumford or Grothendieck, I believe) that there exists a flattening stratification of S. The following is taken from [5]: Definition 4. Let F be a coherent sheaf on P n S. flattening stratification for F over S is a finite disjoint collection {S i } of locally closed subschemes of S such that () set-theoretically, S S i ; () for any morphism g : T S, the pullback ( g) F is flat over T if and only if each g i : S i T is open and closed in T. Proposition 4. ([5, Prop. 7.]) Let F be a coherent sheaf on P n S. There exists a flattening stratification {S P (z) } for F, indexed by numerical polynomials P (z), such that for all g : T S, we have: F T is T -flat with Hilbert polynomial P (z) if and only if g factors through S P (z).,
15 EQUTIONS OF RIEMNN SURFES OF GENUS 4, 5, ND 6 WITH LRGE UTOMORPHISM GROUPS 5 Returning to the example above: suppose we knew how to compute a flattening stratification of S. Then we could find the stratum S P (z) where P (z) = (g )z g + = z 5. This stratum may be irreducible and disconnected, but it should contain at least one irreducible component where the generic fiber is a smooth curve in P 5. So, how can we compute flattening stratifications? I don t know the answer, but I have had some suggestions: () There are hints in the literature that Fitting ideals are relevant to this purpose, but I don t understand the precise connection yet. () Dave ayer pointed me to [], which studies the behavior of Gröbner bases with respect to extension of scalars. (3) Mark Watkins suggested another approach: search over finite fields for points s S where the fiber dimension is correct, then try to lift. Lastly, we note that there are examples where flattening stratifications fail to exist when the base S is nonreduced. However, in all of the examples which arise from the strategy outlined in Section, the base S will be a product of Grassmannians, and so this issue will not arise for us.
