Can distinct morphisms between curves induce the same morphism on singular cohomology?
$begingroup$
Suppose $f,g:X rightarrow Y$ are finite morphisms between connected smooth curves over $mathbb{C}$, with $Y$ of genus at least $2$.
If $f$ and $g$ induce the same morphism $H^*(Y,mathbb{C}) rightarrow H^*(X,mathbb{C})$, does $f=g$?

Yes. Since $Y$ embeds into its Jacobian $B$, it is enough to prove the statement for pairs of maps to an abelian variety $f, gcolon Xto B$ sending a base point $xin X$ to $0in B$. Every such map factors uniquely through the Albanese variety $A$ of $X$, so we reduce further to the case of pairs of maps $f, gcolon Ato B$ between abelian varieties (sending $0$ to $0$). Every such map is necessarily a group homomorphism, and is uniquely determined by what it does on $pi_1 = H_1$, or on $H^1(-, mathbf{C})$.
