Ramification po<strong>in</strong>ts are <strong>in</strong>dicated by small white discs.<br />

The cuts are black.<br />

A dashed vertical surface <strong>in</strong>dicates a connection between two nonadjacent<br />

sheets (i.e., between which there are other sheets): it always<br />

corresponds to a cut.<br />

At every cut 2 sheets meet: go<strong>in</strong>g along a smooth curve on the<br />

surface one moves from one sheet to another (see Figure 117).<br />

FIGURE 117<br />

The self-<strong>in</strong>tersection l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>of</strong> the surface which are not cuts are<br />

white. By a transversal cross<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> a l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>of</strong> this type along a smooth<br />

curve ly<strong>in</strong>g on the surface one rema<strong>in</strong>s on the same sheet (see Figure<br />

118).<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g Riemann surfaces are considered <strong>in</strong> Problems 298–317.
