Covering space

In topology, a covering or covering projection is a map between topological spaces that, intuitively, locally acts like a projection of multiple copies of a space onto itself. In particular, coverings are special types of local homeomorphisms. If p : X ~ → X {\displaystyle p:{\tilde {X}}\to X} is a covering, ( X ~ , p ) {\displaystyle ({\tilde {X}},p)}…
