Unirationality of Hurwitz spaces of coverings of degree <= 5
2011
Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal to $S_d$, and $det(p_{*}O_X/O_Y)$ isomorphic to a fixed line bundle $A^{-1}$ of degree $-e$. We prove that, when $d=3, 4$ or $5$ and $n$ is sufficiently large (precise bounds are given), these Hurwitz spaces are unirational. If in addition $(e,2)=1$ (when $d=3$), $(e,6)=1$ (when $d=4$) and $(e,10)=1$ (when $d=5$), then these Hurwitz spaces are rational.
Numerical bounds for semi-stable families of curves or of certain higher-dimensional manifolds
2005
Given an open subset U U of a projective curve Y Y and a smooth family f : V → U f:V\to U of curves, with semi-stable reduction over Y Y , we show that for a subvariation V \mathbb {V} of Hodge structures of R 1 f ∗ C V R^1f_*\mathbb {C}_V with rank ( V ) > 2 \textrm {rank} (\mathbb {V})>2 the Arakelov inequality must be strict. For families of n n -folds we prove a similar result under the assumption that the ( n , 0 ) (n,0) component of the Higgs bundle of V \mathbb {V} defines a birational map.
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.

A smooth projective complex curve C is called rationally uniformized by radicals if there exists a covering map C \rightarrow P^1 with solvable Galois group. C is called algebraically uniformized by radicals if there exists a finite covering C^{\prime} \rightarrow C with C^{\prime} rationally uniformized by radicals. Abramovich and Harris posed the following problem in [D. Abramovich and J. Harris, Abelian varieties and curves in $W_{d}(C)$, Compositio Math., 78 (1991), pp. 227–-238]. \vspace{1ex} Statement S(d, h, g): \textit{Suppose C^{\prime} \rightarrow C is a nonconstant map of smooth curves with C of genus g. If C^{\prime} admits a map of degree d or less to a curve of genus h or less…
