Double Hurwitz numbers and multisingularity loci in genus 0

Algebraic Geometry 2019-08-02 v1

Abstract

In the Hurwitz space of rational functions on CP^1 with poles of given orders, we study the loci of multisingularities, that is, the loci of functions with a given ramification profile over 0. We prove a recursion relation on the Poincare dual cohomology classes of these loci and deduce a differential equation on Hurwitz numbers.
