Part II, 2019

Define X:={(x,y)C2:x3y+y3+x=0}X^{\prime}:=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{C}^{2}: x^{3} y+y^{3}+x=0\right\}.

(a) Prove by defining an atlas that XX^{\prime} is a Riemann surface.

(b) Now assume that by adding finitely many points, it is possible to compactify XX^{\prime} to a Riemann surface XX so that the coordinate projections extend to holomorphic maps πx\pi_{x} and πy\pi_{y} from XX to C\mathbb{C}_{\infty}. Compute the genus of XX.

(c) Assume that any holomorphic automorphism of XX^{\prime} extends to a holomorphic automorphism of XX. Prove that the group Aut (X)(\mathrm{X}) of holomorphic automorphisms of XX contains an element ϕ\phi of order 7 . Prove further that there exists a holomorphic map π:XC\pi: X \rightarrow \mathbb{C}_{\infty} which satisfies πϕ=π\pi \circ \phi=\pi.
