The category of smooth, irreducible, projective, complex algebraic curves is equivalent to the category of compact Riemann surfaces. We study automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces which are equivalent to complex algebraic curves with real moduli. A complex algebraic curve C has real moduli when the corresponding surface XC\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
