Abstract
We study plane algebraic curves defined over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic that are ramified coverings of the projective line $\mathbb{P}^{1}(k)$ branched over a given configuration of distinct points by their ramification type specified by a partition of $d$ the degree of the covering. We enumerate them by using the combinatorics of partitions and its connection to the representation theory of the symmetric group.
