Apr 5, 2022 at 12:13 comment added Chris Not every Riemann surface can be realized as a smooth plane curve (e.g. by the degree-genus formula). Also, in the deduction "branched cover determines complex structure so curves over $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ are just compact top. surfaces + a dessin d'enfants", is hidden the fact that a dessin d'enfants actually determines a branched cover, which is not immediately clear
