On finite Galois coverings of projective manifolds (Q913874): Difference between revisions

The author studies the problem of existence of finite Galois covers of complex projective manifolds with assigned Galois group. In particular he proves that, given a smooth projective manifold M and a Galois cover \(X\to M\) with group G, there exist a projective space \({\mathbb{P}}\), a finite subgroup \(G'\) of Aut(\({\mathbb{P}})\) isomorphic to G, and a meromorphic map \(M\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), such that \(X\to M\) is obtained from \({\mathbb{P}}\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), by base changing with \(M\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), and normalizing. As an application, he shows that for any given \(manifold\quad M\) and \(group\quad G\) there exists a Galois cover of M with group G. The main ingredient in all the proofs is a result by Deligne and Kita on the existence of generalized Fuchsian equations with assigned monodromy.
