Abstract

We determine the list of automorphism groups for smooth plane septic curves over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$, as well as their signatures. For each group, we also provide a geometrically complete family over $K$, which consists of a generic defining polynomial equation describing each locus up to $K$-projective equivalence. Notably, we present two distinct examples of what we refer to as final strata of smooth plane curves.
