Abstract
If is a Beauville surface , then the Hurwitz bound implies that , with equality if and only if the Beauville group acts as a Hurwitz group on both curves . Equivalently, has two generating triples of type , such that no generator in one triple is conjugate to a power of a generator in the other. We show that this property is satisfied by alternating groups , their double covers , and special linear groups if is sufficiently large, but by no sporadic simple groups or simple groups (), , , , or of small Lie rank.
