A non-constant holomorphic map $F$ between riemann-surfaces is an isomorphism

202 Views Asked by At

I want to show the following:

Let $F:X\rightarrow Y$ be a non-constant and holomorphic map between compact riemann surfaces with $genus(X)=genus(Y)\geq 2$.

In the above it holds that $F$ is an isomorphism.

I am pretty sure that I should use the formula of riemann-hurwitz which can be found here. But I wasnt able to proof the statement.

Hopefully someone can help me.

To make this disappear from the list of unanswered questions. The solution to this question is essentially given in the comments already.

Let $F\colon X \rightarrow Y$ be a non-constant holomorphic map between compact Riemann surfaces both of genus $g\geq 2$. The Riemann-Hurwitz formula yields $$(1-\operatorname{deg}(F))(2g-2)=\sum_{p \in X}(\operatorname{mult}_p(F)-1).$$ The right-hand side is non-negative, while, by assumption, the term $2g-2$ is strictly positive. Thus, we have $\operatorname{deg}(F)=1$ and $F$ is an isomorphism.
