RT Journal Article T1 Fuchsian groups generated by half-turns and geometrical characterization of hyperelliptic and symmetric Riemann surfaces A1 Etayo Gordejuela, José Javier A1 Martínez García, Ernesto AB We construct a special type of fundamental regions for any Fuchsian group $F$ generated, by an even number of half-turns, and for certain non-Euclidean crystallographic groups (NEC groups in short). By comparing these regions we give geometrical conditions for F to be the canonical Fuchsian subgroup of one of those NEC groups. Precisely speaking, we deal with NEC groups of algebraic genus 0 having all periods in the signature equal to 2. By means of these conditions we give a characterization of hyperelliptic and symmetric Riemann surfaces.
