On the Symmetric Genus of K-metacyclic Group and Its Presentations

Abstract

The symmetric genus of a finite group G is defined as the smallest genus s of a compact connected oriented surface on which G acts faithfully via diffeomorphisms, which may be orientation-preserving or orientation-reserving. In this paper we determine a useful lower bound for the symmetric genus of any finite group with a cyclic quotient group. We examined the lower bound for the family of K-metacyclic groups and then determined the symmetric genus of each non-Abelian subgroup of a K-metacyclic group. We also provide some examples of groups for which the lower bound is attained and then used the standard presentation of a finite group as a quotient of a Non-Euclidean Crystallographic (NEC) group by a Fuchsian surface group.
