Abstract

The (symmetric) genus of a finite group may be defined as the smallest genus of those closed orientable surfaces on which G acts faithfully as a group of automorphisms. In this paper the genus of each of the five Mathieu groups M11, M12, M22, M23 and M24 is determined, with the help of some computer calculations and a little-known of Ree on permutations.
