We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…

We study Hurwitz spaces with regard to homological stabilization. By a Hurwitz space, we mean a moduli space of branched, not necessarily connected coverings of a disk with fixed structure group and number of branch points. We choose a…

We provide a formula describing the G-module structure of the Hurwitz-Hodge bundle for admissible G-covers in terms of the Hodge bundle of the base curve, and more generally, for describing the G-module structure of the push-forward to the…

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the Andre-Oort conjecture for Hilbert modular surfaces. More precisely, let K be a real quadratic field and let S be the coarse moduli space of complex abelian surfaces with…

In this paper, a decomposition theorem for (covariant) unitary group representations on Kaplansky-Hilbert modules over Stone algebras is established, which generalizes the well-known Hilbert space case (where it coincides with the…

The classical Hurwitz spaces, that parameterize compact Riemann surfaces equipped with covering maps to ${\mathbb P}_1$ of fixed numerical type with simple branch points, are extensively studied in the literature. We apply deformation…

This article is a continuation of the article with the same title (see arXiv:1003.2953v1). Let {\rm $\text{HUR}_{d,t}^{G}(\mathbb P^1)$} be the Hurwitz space of degree $d$ coverings of the projective line $\mathbb P^1$ with Galois group…

Naruki gave an explicit construction of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces, starting from a toric variety and proceeding with blow ups and contractions. Using his result, we compute the Chow groups and the Chern classes of this…

Analogue of classical Hurwitz numbers is defined in the work for regular coverings of surfaces with marked points by seamed surfaces. Class of surfaces includes surfaces of any genus and orientability, with or without boundaries; coverings…

Let q>1 denote an integer relatively prime to 2,3,7 and for which G=PSL(2,q) is a Hurwitz group for a smooth projective curve X defined over C. We compute the G-module structure of the Riemann-Roch space L(D), where D is an invariant…

In this paper we describe explicit generating functions for a large class of Hurwitz-Hodge integrals. These are integrals of tautological classes on moduli spaces of admissible covers, a (stackily) smooth compactification of the Hurwitz…

For a finite group $G$, we obtain asymptotics for the number of connected components of Hurwitz spaces of marked $G$-covers (of both the affine and projective lines) whose monodromy classes are constrained in a certain way, when the number…

The author give a simple construction of Hurwitz spaces which is defined by Fried and Volklein, and generalize Hurwitz spaces. As a consequence of this construction, the author prove the regularities of the groups PSO^+_{n}(\mathbb F_{p^m})…

We introduce and study a semigroup structure on the set of irreducible components of the Hurwitz space of marked coverings of a complex projective curve with given Galois group of the coverings and fixed ramification type. As application,…

We study the irreducible components of special loci of curves whose group of symmetries is given as certain group extension. We introduce some relative Hurwitz data, which we show by using mixed \'etale cohomology theory, identifies some…

We introduce invariants of Hurwitz equivalence classes with respect to arbitrary group $G$. The invariants are constructed from any right $G$-modules $M$ and any $G$-invariant bilinear function on $M$, and are of bilinear forms. For…

Given a smooth, projective curve $Y$, a finite group $G$ and a positive integer $n$ we study smooth, proper families $X\to Y\times S\to S$ of Galois covers of $Y$ with Galois group isomorphic to $G$ branched in $n$ points, parameterized by…

We prove the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize Galois coverings of P^1 whose Galois group is an arbitrary Weyl group and the local monodromies are reflections. This generalizes a classical theorem due to Clebsch and…

We construct several modular compactifications of the Hurwitz space $H^d_{g/h}$ of genus $g$ curves expressed as $d$-sheeted, simply branched covers of genus $h$ curves. These compactifications are obtained by allowing the branch points of…

We show that the homology of modules for Hurwitz spaces stabilizes and compute its stable value. As one consequence, we compute the moments of Selmer groups in quadratic twist families of abelian varieties over suitably large function…
