Branch-point action on ordered passports #
Permuting the branch points reorders the three cycle partitions and leaves the reference
monodromy subgroup unchanged. Reindexing is contravariant, so this is a right action of
Perm (Fin 3), written as a left action of its opposite group. The action preserves
admissibility and agrees with the branch-point operations on connected triples.
OrderedPassport carries an admissible specification, including its reference subgroup.
Its branch-point orbit has at most six elements. Passing from an ordered passport to its
branch-point orbit gives a coarser invariant than equality of ordered passports. The witnesses
in Passport.Examples show that the torus passport changes under an exchange of branch points,
while the passport of the degree-one cyclic triple has a singleton orbit.
