Abstract:
A closed Riemann surface of genus
\[g\geq 2\]
is called pseudo-real if it has anticonformal automorphisms but no anticonformal involutions. These Riemann surfaces, together with real Riemann surfaces, form the real locus of the moduli space
\[\mathcal{M}_g\]
of closed Riemann surfaces of genus
\[g\geq 2\]
. On the other hand, pseudo-real Riemann surfaces are examples of Riemann surfaces which cannot be defined over their field of moduli [1]. 
In general, a finite group might not be realized as the group of conformal/anticonformal automorphisms, admitting anticonformal ones, of a pseudo-real Riemann surface, for instance, in [2], it was observed that a necessary condition for that to happen is for the group to have order a multiple of
\[4\]
. In this talk, we consider conformal/anticonformal actions of the generalized quasi-dihedral group of order
\[8n\]
,
\[G_n=\langle x, y:\ x^{4n}=y^2=1, yxy=x^{2n-1}\rangle \quad (\text{for $n\geq 2$})\]
on pseudo-real Riemann surfaces. We consider two cases either
\[G_n\]
has anticonformal elements or
\[G_n\]
only contains conformal elements [3].
