A compact bordered Klein surface of genus g ≥ 2 has maximal symmetry [4] if its automorphism group is of order 12(g − 1), the largest possible. An M*-group [8] acts on a bordered surface with maximal symmetry. The first important result about these groups was that they must have a certain partial presentation [8, p. 5]. However, research has tended to focus more on the surfaces with maximal symmetry than on the M*-groups, and results about these groups typically deal with existence.
