The Geometry of Rings of Components of Hurwitz Spaces
Abstract
We consider a variant of the ring of components of Hurwitz spaces introduced by Ellenberg, Venkatesh and Westerland. By focusing on Hurwitz spaces classifying covers of the projective line, the resulting ring of components is commutative, which lets us study it from the point of view of algebraic geometry and relate its geometric properties to numerical invariants involved in our previously obtained asymptotic counts. Specifically, we describe a stratification of the prime spectrum of the ring of components, and we compute the dimensions and degrees of the strata. Using the stratification, we give a complete description of the spectrum in some cases.
