Symmetry types of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces
Mémoires de la Société Mathématique de France, no. 86 (2001) , 128 p.

A compact Riemann surface X is symmetric if it admits an antianalytic involution τ:XX. Such an involution is called a real structure. Two real structures are isomorphic if they are conjugate in the full group Aut ± X of analytic and antianalytic automorphisms of X. In this memoir we classify up to isomorphism the real structures of all symmetric hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of genus g2. The topological invariants of each isomorphism class are also computed. We give the list of groups which act as the full group of analytic and antianalytic automorphisms of such surfaces. Moreover, the complex algebraic curve associated to any such Riemann surface is described in terms of polynomial equations. We also find the explicit formula of a real structure in each isomorphism class.

Une surface de Riemann compacte X est dite symétrique si elle admet une involution antiholomorphe τ:XX. On appelle structure réelle une telle involution. Deux structures réelles sont isomorphes si elles sont conjuguées par le groupe complet Aut ± X des automorphismes holomorphes et anti-holomorphes de X. Dans ce mémoire, nous classifions à isomorphisme près les structures réelles de toutes les surfaces de Riemann hyperelliptiques de genre g2. Nous calculons aussi les invariants topologiques de chaque classe d’isomorphisme. Nous donnons la liste des groupes qui agissent comme le groupe des automorphismes holomorphes et anti-holomorphes d’une telle surface. De plus, nous décrivons la courbe algébrique complexe associée à une telle surface en terme d’équations polynomiales. Nous donnons enfin une formule explicite pour une structure réelle dans chaque classe d’isomorphisme.
