Do you know explicit examples of superelliptic curves $y^{\ell} = g(x)$ (for some prime $\ell > 3$) covering some elliptic curves?
For every elliptic curve $E$ Icart in $\S 2$ of the paper explicitly constructs a superelliptic curve $S\!: y^3 = f(x)$ and a cover $\varphi\!: S \to E$. Do you know explicit examples of superelliptic ...

Image of curve along a finite etale Galois map
Let $f:X\to Y$ be a finite etale Galois morphism of varieties over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $C$ be a smooth quasi-projective connected curve in $X$.
Is $f(C)$ a smooth curve?

Covering all except one of the purple intersection points of $n$ red and $m$ blue lines efficiently
Consider a set of $n$ red lines and $m$ blue lines, suppose there are $nm$ distinct red-blue intersections.
What is the minimum number of lines $L_1,L_2,\dots, L_n$ such that the union contains all $...

Easiest proof for showing finite etale (analytic) quotients of algebraic varieties are algebraic
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbb C$. Let $X^{an}\to Y$ be a finite etale morphism with $Y$ a complex analytic space.
I read somewhere that $Y$ algebraizes, ie, $Y=V^{an}$ for some ...

Sheaf of relative differentials of double cover
Let $Y$ be a smooth projective $k$-variety, $D\subset Y$ a smooth (irreducible) divisor and a line bundle such that $L^2=\mathcal O_Y(D)$. Let us call $f:X\rightarrow Y$ the double cover defined by ...

Are generically trivial finite unramified morphisms trivial
Let $S$ be a smooth affine variety over $\mathbb C$ and let $f:X\to S$ be a finite unramified morphism.
Suppose that $X(K(S))$ is non-empty. (This means that $X\to S$ has a section generically. It ...

Galois group decomposition of non-cyclic covers
If $\pi: C \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^{1}$ is a cyclic cover of $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ with Galois group $\mathbb{Z}/m \mathbb{Z}$ and thus with the (affine) formula
$y^{m}= (x_{1}-a_{1})^{t_{1}}....(x_{n}-a_{...

Equations for abelian coverings of $\mathbb{P^{1}}$
Cyclic coverings of $\mathbb{P^{1}}$ have a simple (affine) equation, namely the formula,
$y^{m}= (x_{1}-a_{1})^{t_{1}}....(x_{n}-a_{n})^{t_{n}}$. Is there such a nice equation for abelian non-cyclic ...
