Generalized Universal Covers of Uniform Spaces

Valera Berestovskii, Conrad Plaut

英文摘要：

We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular Peano continua, as well as more pathological spaces like the topologist's sine curve. Each coverable space has a generalized universal cover with universal and lifting properties. Associated with this generalized universal cover is a functorial uniform space invariant called the deck group, which is related to the classical fundamental group by a natural homomorphism. We obtain some specific results for one-dimensional spaces. Keywords: universal cover, uniform space, geodesic space, fundamental group

An equivalent condition for a uniform space to be coverable

We prove that an equivalent condition for a uniform space to be coverable is that the images of the natural projections in the fundamental inverse system are uniformly open in a certain sense. As corollaries we (1) obtain a concrete way to find covering entourage, (2) correct an error in [3] and (3) show that coverable is equivalent to chain connected and uniformly joinable in the sense of arXiv:0706.3937.

Topological and uniform structures on universal covering spaces

We discuss various uniform structures and topologies on the universal covering space $\widetilde X$ and on the fundamental group $π_1(X,x_0)$. We introduce a canonical uniform structure $CU(X)$ on a topological space $X$ and use it to relate topologies on $\widetilde X$ and uniform structures on $\widetilde{CU(X)}$. Using our concept of universal Peano space we show connections between the topology introduced by Spanier and a uniform structure of Berestovskii and Plaut. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for Berestovskii-Plaut structure to be identical with the one generated by the u…

On the Existence of Categorical Universal Coverings

In this paper, we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of categorical universal coverings using open covers of a given space $X$. As some applications, first we present a generalized version of the Shelah Theorem (Mycielski's conjecture: If $X$ is a Peano continuum, then $π_1(X,x)$ is uncountable or $X$ has a simply connected universal covering) which states that a first countable Peano space has a categorical universal covering or has an uncountable fundamental group. Second, we prove that the one point union $X_1\vee X_2=\frac{{X_1}\cup {X_2}}{{x_1}\sim {x_2}}$ has a c…

Universal covering spaces, a footnote

We give a short proof that, for nice $X$, the based fundamental groupoid of $X$ with topology induced by the compact open topology on the space of paths, is indeed the universal covering space of $X$.

Cellular chain complexes of universal covers of some 3-manifolds

For a closed 3-manifold $M$ in a certain class, we give a presentation of the cellular chain complex of the universal cover of $M$. The class includes all surface bundles, some surgeries of knots in $S^3$, some cyclic branched cover of $S^3$, and some Seifert manifolds. In application, we establish a formula for calculating the linking form of a cyclic branched cover of $S^3$, and develop procedures of computing some Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants.

Poincare Duality Complexes with Highly Connected Universal Covers

Baues and Bleille showed that, up to oriented homotopy equivalence, a Poincare duality complex of dimension $n \ge 3$ with $(n-2)$-connected universal cover, is classified by its fundamental group, orientation class and the image of its fundamental class in the homology of the fundamental group. We generalise Turaev's results for the case $n=3$, by providing necessary and sufficient conditions for a triple $(G, ω, μ)$, comprising a group, $G$, $ω\in H^{1}(G;\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})$ and $μ\in H_{3}(G, \mathbb{Z}^ω)$ to be realised by a Poincaré duality complex of dimension $n$ with $(n-2)$-conn…

Every Continuum has a Compact Universal Cover

We define the compact universal cover of a compact, metrizable connected space (i.e. a continuum) X to be the inverse limit of all continua that regularly cover X. We show that such covers do indeed form an inverse system with bonding maps that are regular covering maps, and the projection from the inverse limit is a generalized regular covering map in the sense of Berestovskii-Plaut. The inverse limit space is a continuum that is "compactly simply connected" in the sense that its "profinite fundamental group" (the inverse limit of the deck groups of the finite covers) is trivial. We prove a G…

On macroscopic dimension of universal coverings of closed manifolds

We give a homological characterization of $n$-manifolds whose universal covering $\Wi M$ has Gromov's macroscopic dimension $\dim_{mc}\Wi M<n$. As the result we distinguish $\dim_{mc}$ from the macroscopic dimension $\dim_{MC}$ defined by the author \cite{Dr}. We prove the inequality $\dim_{mc}\Wi M<\dim_{MC}\Wi M=n$ for every closed $n$-manifold $M$ whose fundamental group $π$ is a geometrically finite amenable duality group with the cohomological dimension $cd(π)> n$.

Universal covering spaces and fundamental groups in algebraic geometry as schemes

In topology, the notions of the fundamental group and the universal cover are closely intertwined. By importing usual notions from topology into the algebraic and arithmetic setting, we construct a fundamental group family from a universal cover, both of which are schemes. A geometric fiber of the fundamental group family (as a topological group) is canonically the 'etale fundamental group. The constructions apply to all connected quasicompact quasiseparated schemes. With different methods and hypotheses, this fundamental group family was already constructed by Deligne.
