Abstract

Let Hol_d_ be the space consisting of all holomorphic maps f : S_2 → S_2 of degree d. The group Hol1 = PSL2(ℂ) acts on Hol_d freely by the post-composition and we shall study the orbit space Xd = Hol1\Hol_d. As an application we shall determine the homotopy types of the universal covering spaces of Hol_d_ and Xd explicitly.
