We show several results concerning the finite groups that occur as Galois groups of unramified covers of projective curves in characteristic p. In particular, we prove that every finite group with g generators occurs over some curve of genus g. This implies, for example, that every finite simple gro

β¦ Synopsis
Let (X) be a complete irreducible nonsingular algebraic curve defined over an algebraically closed field (k) of characteristic (p). We consider a linite group (G) of order prime to (p). In this paper we count the number of unramified Galois coverings of (X) whose Galois group is isomorphic to an extension of (G) by a finite group which is an irreducible (\mathbb{F}_{f}[G])-module. In this counting we use RΓΌck's definition of generalized Hasse-Witt invariants, obtaining a generalization of results of Nakajima and Katsurada. C 1995 Academic Press. Inc.
