Abstract

In this paper, we will construct an example of a closed Riemann surface XX that can be realized as a quotient of a triply periodic polyhedral surface ΠR3\Pi \subset \mathbb{R}^3 where the Weierstrass points of XX coincide with the vertices of Π.\Pi. First we construct Π\Pi by attaching Platonic solids in a periodic manner and consider the surface of this solid. Due to periodicity we can find a compact quotient of this surface, which has genus g=3.g = 3. We claim that the resulting surface is not hyperelliptic and also that it is regular. By regular, we mean that the automorphism group of XX is transitive on flags. The symmetries of XX allow us to construct hyperbolic structures and various translation structures on XX that are compatible with its conformal type. The translation structures are the geometric representations of the holomorphic 1-forms of X,X, which allow us to identify the Weierstrass points.
