RT Journal Article T1 The Gonality Of Riemann Surfaces Under Projections By Normal Coverings A1 Bujalance, E. A1 Etayo Gordejuela, J. Javier A1 Gamboa Mutuberria, José Manuel A1 Gromadzki, G. AB A compact Riemann surface X of genus g ≥ 2 which can be realized as a q-fold, normal covering of a compact Riemann surface of genus p is said to be (q, p)-gonal. In particular the notion of (2, p)-gonality coincides with p-hyperellipticity and (q, 0)-gonality coincides with ordinary q-gonality.Here we completely determine the relationship between thegonalities of X and Y for an N-fold normal covering X → Y between compact Riemann surfaces X and Y.As a consequence we obtain classical results due to Maclachlan (1971) [5] and Martens (1977) [6].
