Extending the puncture coordinates to the sphere #

The inverses of the standard puncture coordinates extend across zero to the Riemann sphere. At the finite punctures these maps are w / 2 and 1 - w / 2; at infinity the map is 2 / w, with zero sent to infinity. These continuous parametrisations express the power-map local models of a filled cover in the sphere, including their centres.

The inverted coordinate uses OnePoint.invChart, so continuity at infinity comes from the sphere's existing chart rather than a separate limit argument. For the same reason these maps are holomorphic for the complex structure of the sphere (Puncture.contMDiff_sphereCoordInv), which is what makes the local models of a filled cover holomorphic.

      The extended inverse coordinate takes zero to its puncture.

      Each extended inverse coordinate identifies the plane with an open neighbourhood of its puncture in the sphere.

      The inverse puncture coordinates are continuous even at the centre.

      The inverse puncture coordinates are holomorphic maps into the Riemann sphere, even at the centre: at a finite puncture they are affine, and at infinity the inverse of the inverted chart of the sphere.

      @[simp]

      Away from the centre, the extended coordinate inverse agrees with the inclusion of the standard punctured neighbourhood into the sphere.
