Abstract

A group HZ2nH \cong {\mathbb Z}_{2}^{n}, n3n \geq 3, of conformal automorphisms of a closed Riemann surface SS such that S/HS/H has genus zero and exactly (n+1)(n+1) cone points is called a generalized Humbert group of type nn, in which case, SS is called a generalized Humbert curve of type nn. It is known that a generalized Humbert curve SS of type n4n \geq 4 is non-hyperelliptic and that it admits a unique generalized Humbert group HH of type nn. We describe those subgroups KK of HH, acting freely on SS, such that S/KS/K is hyperelliptic.
