On triangular (D_{n})-actions on cyclic p-gonal Riemann surfaces

Abstract

A compact Riemann surface \(X\) of genus \(g\gt 1\) which has a conformal automorphism \(\rho\) of prime order \(p\) such that the orbit space \(X/ \langle \rho \rangle \) is the Riemann sphere is called cyclic \(p\)-gonal. Exceptional points in the moduli space \(\mathcal{M}_g\) of compact Riemann surfaces of genus \(g\) are unique surface classes whose full group of conformal automorphisms acts with a triangular signature. We study symmetries of exceptional points in the cyclic \(p\)-gonal locus in \(\mathcal{M}_g\) for which \(\text{Aut}(X)/ \langle \rho \rangle\) is a dihedral group \(D_n\).
