This question is not quite about research-level mathematics, so I apologize for bringing it here. I asked it in Math.SE first, but I got no answers, and only a suggestion to ask it here. Consider the ...

Let $S$ be a smooth complex projective surface and $D\subset S$ be a smooth complex curve. Fix an integer $m>1$ and consider $(S,D,m)$ as an orbifold with orbi-locus $D$ with stabilizer $\mathbb ...

Let $Y$ be a complex algebraic variety, and let $n\in \mathbb Z_{\geq 1}\cup \{\infty\}$. How do I think about a proper $n$-etale morphism $X\to Y$? If $n=1$, I think this should be a finite etale ...

It's well known for smooth curves that if $\pi:X\to Y$ is a finite map, $K_X=\pi^*K_Y+Ram(\pi)$, this is just the Riemann-Hurwitz formula at the level of line bundles. I've been told that this ...
