The eventual 8g conjecture for purely non-free actions
Let be the maximum order of a purely non-free (gpnf) action on a closed orientable surface of genus . For even , the paper proves that either or
for some integer , and that the latter case occurs for only finitely many for each fixed .
Eventual 8g conjecture.
for all but finitely many . The authors additionally suggest that this may hold for all . The preceding results leave open whether infinitely many values of can produce the exceptional form; this conjecture asserts that such exceptions occur only finitely often overall.
