Purpose: This interest group is intended for mathematicians interested in participating in U.S. based conferences on automorphisms of Riemann surfaces/algebraic curves and related topics.  The interest group has held special sessions in these AMS regional conferences: 2005 Santa Barbara, 2007 Tucson, 2009 Penn State,  2015 Chicago, 2018 Portland and 2020 Tufts  - unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic, but was revived as an AMS virtual conference in 2022. Though the 2020 conference was cancelled, we succeeded in producing from it a Contemporary Mathematics volume with 16 papers. The volume, CONM 776, was published in February 2022.

Organizers:

• Allen Broughton, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Emeritus), brought@rose-hulman.edu
• Jennifer Paulhus, Grinnell College, paulhus@math.grinnell.edu
• Aaron Wootton, University of Portland, wootton@up.edu (contact)
