In this paper we describe methods of determining the list of groups $\\mbox{Aut} (\\mathcal X_g)$ for a fixed $g\\geq 2$. Moreover, equations of the corresponding families of curves are given when possible.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-08T02:57:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "algebraic curve", "finite automorphism group", "algebraically closed field", "characteristic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
