Covering spaces & lifting theorems Flashcards
1
Q
covering map
A
continuous surjection such that each x has an open nhbd U for which p^-1(U) is a union of disjoint open sets S_i and p restricted to S_i is a homeomorphism
2
Q
lift
A
continuous map such that p f’ = f
3
Q
unique lifting property
A
Y connected
A={y in Y| f1(y)=f2(y)} is either empty or Y
4
Q
Path Lifting Theorem
A
there exists a unique lift of path
5
Q
Homotopy Lifting Theorem
A
there is unique lift of homotopy
6
Q
Homotopy lifting 2
A
if based homotopic paths then based homotopic lifts
7
Q
right action
A
identity and composition
8
Q
Ultimate Lifting Theorem
A
Y connected and locally path connected
f continuous
f has a lift iff
f_(π1(Y,y0)) is in p_(π1(E,e0))
