Weierstrass points on cyclic covers of the projective line
We are interested in cyclic covers of the projective line which are totally ramified at all of their branch points. We begin with curves given by an equation of the form <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="y Superscript n Baseline equals f left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> …
