We also show the hyperbolicity of complements of those branch divisors. As an application, we find new examples of Brody hyperbolic hypersurfaces in $\\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ that are cyclic covers of $\\mathbb{P}^n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-27T19:28:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cyclic cover", "complements", "brody hyperbolic base-point-free ample divisor", "hyperbolicity", "branch divisor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160107514L" } } }
