Abstract

We study smooth curves on which the alternating group A6\mathfrak{A}_{6} acts faithfully. Let VPGL(3,C)\mathcal{V} \subset PGL(3, \mathbb{C}) be the Valentiner group, which is isomorphic to A6\mathfrak{A}_{6}. We see that there are integral V\mathcal{V}-invariant curves of degree 1212 which have geometric genera 1010 and 1919. On the other hand, if A6\mathfrak{A}_{6} acts faithfully on a curve CC of genus 1010 or 1919, then we give an explicit description of the extension k(C/A5)k(C/A6)k(C / \mathfrak{A}_{5}) \rightarrow k(C / \mathfrak{A}_{6}) for any icosahedral subgroup A5\mathfrak{A}_{5}. Using this, we show the uniqueness of smooth projective curves of genera 1010 and 1919 whose automorphism groups contain A6\mathfrak{A}_{6}.
