Triple covers in positive characteristic (Q919426)

\textit{R. Miranda} established [cf. Am. J. Math., 107, 1123-1158 (1985; Zbl 0611.14011)] that there exists a 1-1 correspondence between triple covers of varieties over fields of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3 and sections of certain vector bundles. In this work the author analyzes this correspondence in the case of characteristic 3. Thus, he studies the ramification, branch locus, local structure of triple covers and the inseparable triple covers in the sections 5 and 6. - Finally in the section 7 and 8 he establishes the problem of lifting a triple cover in characteristic 3 to characteristic 0, and computes the invariants of triple covers of surfaces in the section 7 and 8.
