In complex analysis
In complex analysis, the basic model can be taken as the
z → zn mapping in the complex
plane, near z = 0. This is the
standard local picture in Riemann
surface theory, of ramification of
order n. It occurs for example in
the Riemann–Hurwitz formula for
the effect of mappings on the
genus. See also branch point.

There is also corresponding notion of unramified morphism
in algebraic geometry. It serves to define étale morphisms.
