Abstract: We introduce the Plaque Topology on the inverse limit of a branched covering self-map of a Riemann surface of a finite degree greater than one. We present the notions of regular and irregular points in the setting of this Plaque Inverse Limit and study its local topological properties at the irregular points. We construct certain Boolean Algebra and certain sigma-lattice, derived from it, and use them to compute local topological invariants of the Plaque Inverse Limit. Finally, we obtain several results interrelating the dynamics of the forward iterations of the self-map and the topology of the Plaque Inverse Limit.


The authors introduce a new topology, the Plaque Topology (PT), on the inverse limit of a holomorphic branched covering self-map \(S\) of a Riemann surface of finite degree greater than \(1\). In this setting, they introduce the concept of regular and irregular points, and then investigate local topological properties at irregular points. They show that this leads to a Boolean algebra and certain sigma-lattices, which are useful for computing local topological invariants of \(PT\). The paper closes with various results about the interplay between the dynamics of the forward iterations of \(S\) and the topology \(PT\).
