Summary
We are interested in regular maps on compact symmetric Riemann surfaces. A surface is symmetric if it admits an antiholomorphic involution (symmetry). The fixed-point set of this symmetry is a collection of simple closed curves called mirrors. These mirrors pass through the vertices, edge-centres and face-centres of the map forming a sequence which we call a pattern. Klein in 1879 calculated the pattern for the Riemann surface named after him. Here we discuss the patterns for various families of Riemann surfaces, ending with the Hurwitz surfaces, these admitting 84(g − 1) automorphisms.
