Finite simple groups acting with fixity 4 and their occurrence as groups of automorphisms of Riemann surfaces (extended version)

In previous work, all finite simple groups that act with fixity 4 have been classified. In this article we investigate which ones of these groups act faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 with fixity four in total and in such a way that fixity 4 is exhibited on at least one orbit. This is an extended version of the submitted article, including our GAP code.

Finite simple permutation groups acting with fixity 4

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces and specifically the significance of Weierstrass points, we classify all finite simple groups that have a faithful transitive action with fixity 4, along with details about all possible such actions.

Finite simple groups acting with fixity 3 and their occurrence as groups of automorphisms of Riemann surfaces (extended version)

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces, we classify all possibilities for finite simple groups acting faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 in such a way that all non-trivial elements have at most three fixed points on each non-regular orbit and at most four fixed points in total. In each case we also give information about the branching datum of the surface. There is a shorter version of this article (submitted for publication), and in this extended version we give many more details about the GAP code that we use for the calculations. We also explicitly include a lemma that we only quote in the short version, so we can explain how exactly the GAP calculations and the lemma work together.
