Compact Riemann surfaces : prime Galois coverings of P¹

The uniqueness of the hyperelliptic involution is well known in the theory of Riemann surfaces. More precisely, we know that if X is a hyperelliptic compact Riemann surface, there is a unique automorphism τ of order 2 such that X/〈τ〉 ≅ ℙ¹ . We wish to generalize the situation slightly. We say X...
