Jun 28, 2019 at 17:03 comment added 57Jimmy @StanleyYaoXiao Thanks for the explanation, but it's still not completely clear to me: by Riemann-Hurwitz, the number of points in the ramified fiber determines the genus, so what do you mean by "this can always be done"? Here we consider all Aff(q)-covers branched at a single point, so also those that have more than one point in the fiber, and then take a non-Galois subcover of order $q$ by quotienting $\mathbb{F}_q^*$, right?
Jun 28, 2019 at 16:54 comment added Stanley Yao Xiao I don't think that's the reason... they constructed the covers to have only one point of ramification. This can always be done, by the work of Fulton (see: jstor.org/stable/1970748?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents)
Jun 28, 2019 at 16:51 comment added 57Jimmy @StanleyYaoXiao Thanks for the remark! But why can I only have one element in the ramified fiber? Is it because $q$ is prime? But the cover $C_1' \to C_2$ is not Galois, even away from the ramification...
Jun 28, 2019 at 16:39 comment added Stanley Yao Xiao Check the ramification index $e_P$ at the (only) point of ramification
