Does there exist a non-hyperelliptic Riemann surface with automorphism group $C_2\times A_4$?

One thing that should be made more precise is whether you are asking that the automorphism group equals $C_2 \times A_4$ or if it is enough that it contains $C_2 \times A_4$. I'm assuming you mean the …

Teichmuller modular forms and number theory

@David Hansen: Teichmuller modular forms are basically the natural analogue of Siegel modular forms when one considers sections of line bundles on $M_g$ instead of $A_g$. Search for papers by Ichikawa …

What are the possible automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces of low genus?

To answer your specific question, there is a unique curve of genus three with a 32-element automorphism group, the hyperelliptic curve $$ y^2 = x^8 - 1.$$ As for any hyperelliptic curve, the automorph …

Explicit constant terms of volumes of moduli spaces

The coefficients of these polynomials are top intersection numbers of psi-classes and the class $\kappa_1$ on $\overline M_{g,n}$. That's how Mirzakhani obtained a new proof of the Witten conjecture, …

Cohomology of the genus 2 mapping class group

The possible automorphism groups of a curve of genus two are known very classically, this is usually attributed to Bolza. In his list we find only three prime factors in the orders of the groups: 2,3 …

Reference on Deligne-Mumford compactness for Riemann surfaces

I'm assuming you are not primarily looking for references to papers in algebraic geometry. Maybe http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.0062 is what you are looking for. They construct rigorously the DM-compactifi …

Are Weierstrass points algebraic

Edit: as pointed out by Felipe below, what used to be here was sort of wrong-headed, but I can't delete this answer since it has already been accepted. Anyway you should do what he says: the divisor o …

Unramified map of Riemann surfaces

Let $C \to D$ be a nontrivial finite étale cover and $p \in C$ a point. Then $C \setminus \{p\} \to D$ is still surjective and unramified, but it's not a covering.

Index of the mapping class group $\Gamma_{g,n}$ inside $\text{Out}(\Pi_{g,n})$

This is surely not the most direct answer. But $\mathrm{Out}(\Pi_{g,1}) \cong \mathrm{Out}(F_{2g})$ surjects onto $\mathrm{GL}(2g,\mathbf Z)$, and the image of $\Gamma_{g,1}$ lands in $\mathrm{Sp}(2g, …
