  Given a smooth curve, the canonical representation of its automorphism group
is the space of global holomorphic differential 1-forms as a representation of
the automorphism group of the curve. In this paper, we study an explicit set of
curves in positive characteristic with irreducible canonical representation
whose genus is unbounded. Additionally, we study the implications this has for
the de Rham hypercohomology as a representation of the automorphism group.
