May 15, 2022 at 20:39 comment added Sam Nead I can’t give details at the level I think you require. Perhaps you will find useful the material in Section 1.1 of Stillwell’s book “Classical topology and combinatorial group theory”.
May 15, 2022 at 13:55 comment added 1200785626 I can't understand why this picture is branded covering? Can you give me more details?
May 11, 2022 at 20:20 comment added Will Sawin This branched covering is indeed an example of "a covering map everywhere except for a nowhere dense set known as the branch set," the definition (from Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched_covering) Ryan Budney gave (mathoverflow.net/questions/422318/…), so I think it's reasonable to assume that's the correct definition (since no other branched covering appears in the paper).
