On the fixed-point set of automorphisms of non-orientable surfaces without boundary

Abstract: Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe that this formula generalizes to determine the fixed-point set of each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms acting on a closed non-orientable surface with one exception; namely, when this element has order 2. In this case the fixed-point set may have simple c… Show more

“…Harvey's theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the abstract Fuchsian group to be a universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group, while Macbeath gives a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of compact Riemann surface. The generalization of that formula to closed non-orientable surfaces was obtained by Izquierdo and Singerman [6].…”

“…We mention, however, that some attempts in this direction have been made by Sierakowski in his thesis [16]. Finally, we emphasize that to find the whole conformal dynamics on Klein surfaces seems to be a difficult problem, though its special form, consisting in finding, in terms of the group of automorphisms of the surface and the topological type of the action, the set of fixed points of a single automorphism has been solved in [4,6] for bordered and non-orientable unbordered Klein surfaces, respectively, and in [5,9,13] for classical Riemann surfaces in the case of symmetries and non-involutionary automorphisms respectively.…”

“…Macbeath found in [11] a formula for the number of points fixed by an arbitrary analytic automorphism ϕ of a compact Riemann surface X in terms of the topological type of the group G of conformal automorphisms of X, which corresponds to a so called smooth epimorphism θ : Λ → G. Later, Izquierdo and Singerman [9] obtained in such terms formulae for G a cyclic group of automorphisms of an unbordered non-orientable compact Klein surface, and Gromadzki [8] provided such formulae for arbitrary group G of all dianalytic automorphisms of X. Here we deal with the case in which X is a compact bordered Klein surface.…”
