Abstract
We examine conditions under which there exists a non-constant family of Galois branched covers of curves over an algebraically closed field of fixed degree and fixed ramification locus, under a notion of equivalence derived from considering linear series on a fixed smooth proper source curve . We show such a family exists precisely when the following conditions are satisfied: , is isomorphic to , there is a unique ramification point, and the Galois group is for some integer .
