Abstract: If $ G$ is a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of a projective curve $ X$ and $ D$ is a divisor on $ X$ stabilized by $ G$, then we compute a simplified formula for the trace of the natural representation of $ G$ on the Riemann-Roch space $ L(D)$, under the assumption that $ L(D)$ is ``rational'', $ D$ is nonspecial, and the characteristic is ``good''. We discuss the partial formulas that result if $ L(D)$ is not rational.
