There are discussions of Hurwitz surfaces and surfaces with large cyclic groups of automorphisms. Also discussed are surfaces which are natural candidates for solving extremal problems such as triangular, modular, and arithmetic surfaces, and curves in various group theoretically defined curve families. Other allied topics are theta identities, quadratic periods of Abelian differentials, Teichmüller disks, binary quadratic forms, and spectral asymptotics of degenerating hyperbolic three manifolds.

Follows up on investigations of Sarnak concerning connections between the theory of extreme lattices and Jacobians of Riemann surfaces.
Contains papers on a variety of topics relating to Riemann surfaces.
