We prove that under certain assumptions the surface is a torus and the map coincides with a self-covering of the torus outside a neighborhood of the puncture.; Thesis (Ph.D.)--Tufts University, 2016.; Submitted to the Dept. of Mathematics.; Advisor: Boris Hasselblatt.; Committee: Kim Ruane, Enrique Pujals, and Zbigniew Nitecki.; Keyword: Mathematics. %[ 2022-10-11 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
