Non-normal abelian covers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: An abelian cover is a finite morphism XoY of varieties which is the quotient map for a generically faithful action of a finite abelian group G. Abelian covers with Y smooth and X normal were studied in cite{Pardini_AbelianCovers}. Here we study the non-normal case, assuming that X and Y are S2 varieties that have at worst normal crossings outside a subset of codimension ge2. Special attention is paid to the case of -covers of surfaces, which is used in arxiv:0901.4431 to construct explicitly compactifications of some components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type.
