Title: Hurwitz Monodromy

Abstract: families of branched covers of the Riemann sphere
with fixed ramification type may be described via Hurwitz
spaces. In this talk, we will consider the case where the
Hurwitz space is a Riemann surface and may be viewed as a
branched cover of the Riemann sphere. We will review how
one can calculate the monodromy of this cover (Huritz
monodromy) in terms of Nielsen tuples by explicit formulas.
Moreover, in certain cases, it is possible to calculate
the Hurwitz monodromy of quotients of covers via the
Nielsen tuples of the original ones.
