The unirationality of Hurwitz spaces
- Hanieh Keneshlou (MPI MiS, Leipzig)
Abstract
The Hurwitz space H_(d,g) parametrizes d-sheeted simply branched covers of the projective line by smooth curves of genus g. In this talk, I will survey our knowledge on the unirationality of Hurwitz spaces and we will discuss some results in this direction.
