The Picard rank conjecture for the Hurwitz spaces of degree up to five
Abstract
We prove that the rational Picard group of the simple Hurwitz space Hd,g is trivial for d up to five. We also relate the rational Picard groups of the Hurwitz spaces to the rational Picard groups of the Severi varieties of nodal curves on Hirzebruch surfaces.
