Resumen de Frobenius n-homomorphisms, transfers and branched coverings

V.M. Buchstaber, E.G. Rees

• The main purpose is to characterise continuous maps that are n-branched coverings in terms of induced maps on the rings of functions. The special properties of Frobenius n-homomorphisms between two function spaces that correspond to n-branched coverings are determined completely. Several equivalent definitions of a Frobenius n-homomorphism are compared and some of their properties are proved. An axiomatic treatment of n-transfers is given in general and properties of n-branched coverings are studied and compared with those of regular coverings
