Let Y be a smooth, connected, projective complex curve of genus > = 0. Biggers and Fried proved the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize coverings of P1whose monodromy group is a Weyl of type W(Bd). Here we prove the irreducibility of Hurwitz spaces that parametrize coverings of Y with monodromy group a Weyl group of type W(Bd).

Rivestimenti di P1 con gruppo di monodromia un gruppo di Weyl di tipo W(Dd)sono stati studiati da Biggers e Fried che hanno provato l'irriducibilità dei corrispondenti spazi di Hurwitz. In questo articolo viene dimostrata l'irriducibilità degli spazi di Hurwitz che parametrizzano rivestimenti di una curva proiettiva complessa, connessa, non singolare di genere > = 0, il cui gruppo di monodromia è un gruppo di Weyl di tipo W(Bd).
