Abstract: Using a geometric approach involving Riemann surface orbifolds, we provide lower bounds for the genus of an irreducible algebraic curve of the form $E_{A,B}:,A(x)-B(y)=0$, where $A,BinmathbbC(z)$. We also investigate "series" of curves $E_{A,B}$ of genus zero, where by a series we mean a family with the "same" $A$. We show that for a given rational function $A$ a sequence of rational functions $B_i$, such that $mdeg,B_{i}ightarrowinfty$ and all the curves $A(x)-B_i(y)=0$ are irreducible and have genus zero, exists if and only if the Galois closure of the field extension $mathbbC(z)/mathbbC(A)$ has genus zero or one.
