Generalized Hubert fields, II
In this report we study the arithmetic of Rikuna’s generic polynomial for the cyclic group of order and obtain a generalized Kummer theory. It is useful under the condition that and where is a primitive -th root of unity and . In particular, this result with implies the classical Kummer theory. We also present a method for calculating not only the conductor but also the Artin symbols of the cyclic extension which is defined by the Rikuna polynomial.
We study infinite translation surfaces which are -covers of compact translation surfaces. We obtain conditions ensuring that such surfaces have Veech groups which are Fuchsian of the first kind and give a necessary and sufficient condition for recurrence of their straight-line flows. Extending results of Hubert and Schmithüsen, we provide examples of infinite non-arithmetic lattice surfaces, as well as surfaces with infinitely generated Veech groups.
