Faithfulness of Actions on Riemann-Roch Spaces
Faithfulness of Actions on Riemann-Roch Spaces
Given a faithful action of a finite group G on an algebraic curve X of genus g_X > 1, we give explicit criteria for the induced action of G on the Riemann-Roch space H^0(X,O_X(D)) to be faithful, where D is a G-invariant divisor on X of degree at least 2g_X-2. …
