Non-existence de certains polygones généralisés. II.
The question of whether two parabolic elements A, B of SL2(C) are a free basis for the group they generate is considered. Some known results are generalized, using the parameter τ = tr(AB) - 2. If τ = a/b ∈ Q, |τ| < 4, and |a| ≤ 16, then the group is not free. If the subgroup generated by b in Z / aZ has a set of representatives, each of which divides one of b ± 1, then the subgroup of SL2(C) will not be free.
We say that a finite group G of automorphisms of a Riemann surface X is non-maximal in genus g if (i) G acts as a group of automorphisms of some compact Riemann surface Xg of genus g and (ii), for all such surfaces Xg , |Aut Xg| > |G|. In this paper we investigate the case where G is a cyclic group Cn of order n. If Cn acts on only finitely many surfaces of genus g, then we completely solve the problem of finding all such pairs (n,g).
We show that the special linear group , over the integers, is not -generated. This gives a negative answer to a question of M. Conder.
This is a small survey paper about connections between the arithmetic and geometric properties in the case of arithmetic Fuchsian groups.
