候选曲面分支覆盖的可实现性和例外性：方法和结果
Realizability and exceptionality of candidate surface branched covers: methods and results
摘要：
给定两个闭的可定向曲面，Hurwitz存在性问题是问它们之间是否存在分支覆盖，分支覆盖在分支点上具有给定的全局度和局部度. Riemann-Hurwitz公式给出了一个必要条件，当基面有正亏格时，该条件也是充分的.对于球面，我们知道，对于某些数据，覆盖存在，而对于某些数据，覆盖不存在，但这个问题一般来说仍然是开放的。在本文中，我们将回顾最近采用的五种不同的技术来攻击它，我们将陈述他们所导致的主要结果。为了说明这些技巧，我们将给出五个独立的证明，证明球面在自身上不存在度为4的分支覆盖，三个分支点，以及它们的局部度为（2，2），（2，2）和（3，1）（尽管黎曼-赫维茨公式是满足的）。
英文摘要：
Given two closed orientable surfaces, the Hurwitz existence problem asks whether there exists a branched cover between them having prescribed global degree and local degrees over the branching points. The Riemann-Hurwitz formula gives a necessary condition, which was shown to be also sufficient when the base surface has positive genus. For the sphere one knows that for some data the cover exists and for some it does not, but the problem is still open in general. In this paper we will review five different techniques recently employed to attack it, and we will state the main results they have led to. To illustrate the techniques we will give five independent proofs of the fact that there is no branched cover of the sphere over itself with degree 4, three branching points, and local degrees (2,2), (2,2), and (3,1) over them (despite the fact that the Riemann-Hurwitz formula is satisfied).
