Irreducible components of Hurwitz spaces of coverings with two special fibers

2013

In this paper we prove new results of irreducibility for Hurwitz spaces of coverings whose monodromy group is a Weyl group of type B_d and whose local monodromies are all reflections except two.

On the irreducibility of Hurwitz spaces of coverings with an arbitrary number of special points

2013

In this paper we study Hurwitz spaces of coverings of Y with an arbitrary number of special points and with monodromy group a Weyl group of type D_d, where Y is a smooth, complex projective curve. We give conditions for which these spaces are irreducible.

f! Y; where is a degree-two coverings with n1 branch points and branch locus D and f is a degree-d coverings with n2 points of simple branching and two special points whose local monodromy is given by e and q, respectively. Furthermore the covering f has monodromy group Sd and f. D /\ D fD? where D f denotes the branch locus of f . We prove that the corresponding Hurwitz spaces are irreducible under the hypothesis n2 s r dC 1.

A note on coverings with special fibres and monodromy group $ S_{d}$

2012

We consider branched coverings of degree over with monodromy group , points of simple branching, special points and fixed branching data at the special points, where is a smooth connected complex projective curve of genus , and , are integers with . We prove that the corresponding Hurwitz spaces are irreducible if .
