Jun 16, 2012 at 13:41 comment added jason mfash Thanks again Gunnar, regarding 1- But what do you mean by $f_* \mathbb{C} $ ? It seems not suitable for the direct image sheaf case regarding 3- I know the definition of the topological Euler char of $X$. But in your previous answers, you wrote: $\chi(\mathbb{C}^{\oplus d }) = d \chi(Y) $ . How did you get this result? Thanks !
Jun 16, 2012 at 9:38 comment added Gunnar Þór Magnússon 1) I should precise that $f_*\mathbb C = \mathbb C^{\oplus d}$ only on neighborhoods of images of non-ramified points on $Y$. Here $\oplus d$ is indeed the direct sum. 2) Note that the inclusion map $f_*\mathbb C \to \mathbb C^{\oplus}$ is absolutely not canonical! You need to construct it yourself, e.g. by choosing a fine enough covering of the surface. Then the other map is simply the quotient map. 3) $\chi(X)$ is the topological Euler characteristic of $X$. For a Riemann surface of genus $g$ it is equal to $2 - 2g$ by the Riemann-Roch theorem and Hodge theory.
