Global Plücker formula for W-surfaces associated with simple Lie algebras

Let G{\cal G} be an arbitrary simple Lie algebra with Cartan matrix entries KkjK_{kj}. Consider a W-surface of genus gg, with degrees dkd_k and total ramification numbers βk\beta_k.

Global Plücker formula. For each kk, one has

2g2βk+2j=1nKkjdj=0.2g-2-\beta_k+2\sum_{j=1}^n K_{kj}d_j=0.

This is proposed as a generalization, to W-surfaces associated with arbitrary simple Lie algebras, of the global Plücker formula. The supplied text does not indicate whether the formula has been proved or remains open.
