In mathematics, the Bolza surface, alternatively, complex algebraic Bolza curve (introduced by Oskar Bolza (1887)), is a compact Riemann surface of genus with the highest possible order of the conformal automorphism group in this genus, namely of order 48 (the general linear group of matrices over the finite field ). The full automorphism group (including reflections) is the semi-direct product of order 96. An affine model for the Bolza surface can be obtained as the locus of the equation
in . The Bolza surface is the smooth completion of the affine curve. Of all genus hyperbolic surfaces, the Bolza surface maximizes the length of the systole (Schmutz 1993). As a hyperelliptic Riemann surface, it arises as the ramified double cover of the Riemann sphere, with ramification locus at the six vertices of a regular octahedron inscribed in the sphere, as can be readily seen from the equation above.
The Bolza surface has attracted the attention of physicists, as it provides a relatively simple model for quantum chaos; in this context, it is usually referred to as the Hadamard–Gutzwiller model.[1] The spectral theory of the Laplace–Beltrami operator acting on functions on the Bolza surface is of interest to both mathematicians and physicists, since the surface is conjectured to maximize the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian among all compact, closed Riemann surfaces of genus with constant negative curvature.
