The special properties of Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms between two function spaces that correspond to $n$-branched coverings are determined completely. Several equivalent definitions of a Frobenius $n$-homomorphism are compared and some of their properties are proved. An axiomatic treatment of $n$-transfers is given in general and properties of $n$-branched coverings are studied and compared with those of regular coverings.15 pagesRings and AlgebrasAlgebraic Topology13A99; 55R12Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms, transfers and branched coveringstext
