Topology of Algebraic Curves : : An Approach via Dessins d'Enfants / / Alex Degtyarev.

This monograph summarizes and extends a number of results on the topology of trigonal curves in geometrically ruled surfaces. An emphasis is given to various applications of the theory to a few related areas, most notably singular plane curves of small degree, elliptic surfaces, and Lefschetz fibrat...
