| Jan 5, 2013 at 14:32 | comment | added | Michael Zieve | Yes, my question is for curves over the complex numbers. | |
| Jan 5, 2013 at 14:30 | comment | added | user30180 | Is $C$ meant to be geometrically irreducible? Is the ground field algebraically closed? Of characteristic 0? | |
| Jan 5, 2013 at 14:00 | comment | added | Michael Zieve | I mean a smooth projective curve. When I refer to "$f(x)=g(y)$", I mean the normalization of its projective closure. | |
| Jan 5, 2013 at 12:52 | comment | added | Dima Sustretov | what do you mean by "curve"? since you mention a cover $C \to \mathbb{P}^1$, then it is probably a projective curve, but the nature of equation als suggests that you are talking about a plane affine curve. | |
