Abstract

For a map φ:ΓΓ\varphi : \varGamma \rightarrow \varGamma^{\prime} between metric graphs and an isometric action on Γ\varGamma by finite group KK, φ\varphi is a KK-Galois covering on Γ\varGamma^{\prime} if φ\varphi is a morphism, the degree of φ\varphi coincides with the order of KK and KK induces a transitive action on every fibre. We prove that for a metric graph Γ\varGamma with an isometric action by finite group KK, there exists a rational map, from Γ\varGamma to a tropical projective space, which induces a KK-Galois covering on the image. By using this fact, we also prove that for a hyperelliptic metric graph without one valent points and with genus at least two, the invariant linear system of the hyperelliptic involution ι\iota of the canonical linear system, the complete linear system associated to the canonical divisor, induces an ι\langle \iota \rangle-Galois covering on a tree. This is an analogy of the fact that a compact Riemann surface is hyperelliptic if and only if the canonical map, the rational map induced by the canonical linear system, is a double covering on a projective line P1\boldsymbol{P}^1.
