TLDR
In this article, a local signature for the class of fibered 4-manifolds whose general fibers are isomorphic to a regular covering was constructed for a 2-sphere with at least three branch points.
Abstract
Let $p$ be a finite regular covering on a 2-sphere with at least three branch points. In this paper, we construct a local signature for the class of fibered 4-manifolds whose general fibers are isomorphic to the covering $p$.

Isotopies of homeomorphisms of Riemann surfaces and a theorem about Artin's braid group

TL;DR: In this article, a homeomorphism g : X -> X is said to be fiber-preserving with respect to the triplet (p, X, X) if, for every pair of points x, x'e l the condition p(x) = p (x') implies pg(x), x' e l = pg (x), and if g is isotopic to the identity map via an isotopy gs, then g is fiber-isotopic to 1.
