On commutativity and ovals for a pair of symmetries of a Riemann surface
We study the upper bounds for the total number of ovals of two symmetries of a Riemann surface of genus g, whose product has order n. We show that the natural bound coming from Bujalance, Costa, Singerman and Natanzon's original results is attained for arbitrary even n, and in case of n odd, there is a sharper bound, which is attained. We also prove that two (M-q)- and (M-q')-symmetries of a Riemann surface X of genus g commute for g ≥ q+q'+1 (by (M-q)-symmetry we understand a symmetry having g+1-q...
