چکیده

Basic Algebraic Topology: the Fundamental Group of a Circle
The goal of this paper is to explore basic topics in Algebraic Topology. The paper will first begin by exploring the concept of loops on topological spaces and how one can look at these loops and form a group. From there, it moves to discuss covering spaces giving basic definitions and constructing the universal cover. After establishing this, covering spaces are used to calculate the fundament...
متن کاملQuotient Maps with Connected Fibers and the Fundamental Group
In classical covering space theory, a covering map induces an injection of fundamental groups. This note reveals a dual property for quotient maps having connected fibers, with applications to orbit spaces of smooth vector fields and leaf spaces in general.
متن کاملTheory of Covering Spaces
Introduction. In this paper I study covering spaces in which the base space is an arbitrary topological space. No use is made of arcs and no assumptions of a global or local nature are required. In consequence, the fundamental group ir(X, Xo) which we obtain frequently reflects local properties which are missed by the usual arcwise group iri(X, Xo). We obtain a perfect Galois theory of covering...

متن کاملUltra regular covering space and its automorphism group
In order to classify digital spaces in terms of digital-homotopic theoretical tools, a recent paper by Han (2006b) (see also the works of Boxer and Karaca (2008) as well as Han (2007b)) established the notion of regular covering space from the viewpoint of digital covering theory and studied an automorphism group (or Deck’s discrete transformation group) of a digital covering. By using these to...
