Jun 4, 2016 at 21:53 comment added Jason Starr I just saw that what I am calling "Hurwitz's irreducibility theorem" is actually due jointly to L"uroth, Clebsch, and Hurwitz.
Jun 3, 2016 at 12:05 comment added rfauffar Dear Jason, thanks for your comment. I think you're right, that the construction should be analogous to the classical case. I will take a look at the papers you describe.
Jun 3, 2016 at 4:47 comment added Jason Starr If you do not fix $C'$, then how do you define the classical Hurwitz schemes where $C'$ is a smooth, projective genus $0$ curve? Anyway, for topological properties, it will not make much difference whether or not you fix $C'$. Some of the modern references are by Fulton, particularly in positive characteristic. The generalization to arbitrary $C'$ of Hurwitz's irreducibility theorem (in characteristic 0) has been "rediscovered" many times, perhaps first in the thesis of Richard Hamilton, but then also by Gabai-Kazez and others (at one time, Graber, Harris, and I needed this as well).

Jun 3, 2016 at 2:43 comment added rfauffar Sorry, yes! I will edit it right away.
Jun 3, 2016 at 2:03 comment added benblumsmith Is $C'$ the quotient of $C$ by the action of $G$? If not, what's the connection between $G,\delta$ and $f$?
