Algebraic curves admitting automorphism groups of large prime square order
Let $\mathbb{K}$ denote an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. In this paper we provide bounds for the size of a prime $\ell$ for which there are curves defined over $\mathbb{K}$ admitting automorphism groups of order $\ell^2$. In addition, we also give a classification of the families of curves attaining the upper bounds for $\ell$ in both tame and wild case. Finally, we present the full automorphism groups of the curves attaining the highest bounds.
