A note on Gunningham’s formula. (English) Zbl 1471.14115

In this article, the author, using a gluing theorem for spin Hurwitz numbers, re-proves Gunningham’s formula which gives a closed formula for all spin Hurwitz numbers. The author also extends gluing theorem to include some additional cases for which spin Hurwitz numbers are not defined.
