The latter condition is equivalent to say that the defect of the covering is greater than $d$. We show that, given a datum $\\mathscr{D}=\\{D_{1},\\dots,D_{s}\\}$ with an even defect greater than $d$, it is realizable by an indecomposable branched covering over the projective plane. The case when $d$ is even is known.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-06T23:38:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "projective plane", "indecomposable branched covering", "decomposability property", "euler characteristic", "defect greater" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
