  Klein quartic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The order 168 of G is the maximum allowed for this genus 3; and this curve is uniquely determined by requiring that the symmetry is as large as this.
The Klein quartic can be given a metric of constant negative curvature and then tiled with 24 regular heptagons.
Klein's quartic occurs all over mathematics, in contexts including representation theory, homology theory, octonion multiplication, Fermat's last theorem, and Stark's theorem on imaginary quadratic number fields of class number 1.

The Klein Quartic is the plane curve of lowest degree that attains this upper bound.
The proof that Klein's quartic is a plane curve of genus 3 uses Euler's formula for a triangulation and is arguably simpler than using Hurwitz's formula for branched coverings.
Klein showed that the ring of invariants is generated by four invariants, and gave geometric explanations of the algberaic zero loci of these invariants.

 Felix Klein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Felix Christian Klein (April 25, 1849 – June 22, 1925) was a German mathematician.
His enunciation of the Erlangen programme classifying geometries by their underlying group of symmetries was hugely influential: a synthesis of much of the mathematics of its time.

This means that the Klein quartic has 24 symmetries forming a group isomorphic to the rotation/reflection symmetry group of a tetrahedron.
This is an excellent example of Klein's Erlangen program for reducing geometry to group theory, which I discussed in "week213".

Many of these questions are touched on in this classic volume: such as the classification of quartic surfaces, the description of moduli spaces for abelian surfaces, and the automorphism group of a Kummer surface.
First printed in 1905 after the untimely death of the author, this work has stood for most of this century as one of the classic reference works in geometry.
More that the surface that we now call the Klein quartic has many remarkable properties, including an incredible 336-fold symmetry, the maximum possible degree of symmetry for any surface of its type.

In the newsgroup sci.physics.research, we were discussing a heptagonal tiling of a genus 3 object, that we call "Klein's Quartic".
A somewhat prettier figure is the tiling of "Fermats quartic", with 12 octagons.
Klein suggest that his figure should have octagonal symmetry, and that the 6 vertices of the octagon are of at infinity.

He showed this surface could be described by an incredibly symmetrical quartic equation in 3 complex variables: u^3 v + v^3 w + w^3 u = 0 where we count two solutions as the same if they differ by an overall factor.
This is an example of a "congruence subgroup"; these serve to relate complex analysis to number theory in lots of cool ways. In particular, Klein's quartic curve is just H/Gamma(7) Since Gamma(7) is a normal subgroup of PSL(2,Z), the quotient group PSL(2,Z)/Gamma(7) = PSL(2,Z/7) acts as symmetries of Klein's quartic curve.
Also available as math.SG/0312252. I've got to read these sometime. Having the number 56 on my brain, I can't resist nothing that if you take Klein's quartic curve tiled by heptagons, and you count the vertices, you get 24 x 7 / 3 = 56 since each vertex is shared by 3 heptagons.
