Connectedness of a space of branched coverings with a periodic cycle
Abstract
We prove the connectedness of the following locus: the space of degree- d branched self-coverings of S^{2} with two critical points of order d , one of which is n -periodic. Equivalently, all branched self-coverings of S^{2} with two critical points of order d , one of which is n -periodic, are combinatorially equivalent.
