Stichtenoth's bound has raised the problem of classifying all $\\K$-automorphism groups $G$ of $\\cX$ with the following property: There is a point $P\\in \\cX$ for which \\begin{equation} |G_P^{(1)}|>\\frac{p}{p-1}g. \\end{equation} Such a classification is obtained here by proving Theorem 1.3", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-06-15T15:38:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14H37" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic curve", "large automorphism groups", "positive characteristic", "first ramification group", "upper bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.2320G" } } }
