Abstract

For all g greater than or equal to 2, there is a Riemann surface of genus g whose automorphism group has order 8g+8, establishing a lower bound for the possible orders of automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces. Accola and MacLachlan established the existence of such surfaces; we shall call them Accola-MacLachlan surfaces. In this paper we determine the symmetries of surfaces with genus g = 3(mod 4), computing the number of ovals and the separability of the symmetries. The results are then applied to classify the real forms of these complex algebraic curves.
