Genus lower bound for a degree-n cover of a positive-genus target:
g_X ≥ n · g_Y − (n − 1), an immediate consequence of Riemann–Hurwitz with
deg R ≥ 0.
Bundled form: strict genus inequality for a degree-≥ 2 cover of a
curve of general type.
Bundled Lüroth's theorem for CurveCoverData.
Bundled version of the ramification formula deg R = 2(n − 1) for covers
of ℙ¹ by ℙ¹.
A genus-zero smooth complete curve has canonical degree −2.
A genus-zero curve has the same canonical degree as ℙ¹.
A genus-zero curve shares the genus and canonical degree of ℙ¹, i.e.
its numerical invariants.
Combined statement: a genus-zero cover forces the target to be ℙ¹
(i.e. g_Y = 0) and the ramification divisor to satisfy deg R = 2(n − 1).
Prop 39 (Lec, normal domain criterion): the data needed to express integrality of a fraction in terms of local conditions at height-one primes.

Instances For
Dedekind domains canonically satisfy the normal-domain localization property: an algebraic Hartogs-type construction recovers the global element from compatible local fractions.
Instances For
The element-criterion form of Prop 39: divisibility b ∣ a holds globally
iff it holds at every height-one prime.
Every Dedekind domain is integrally closed (a normal domain).
