Coverings and Ring-groupoids
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the set of homotopy classes of the paths in a topological ring is a ring object (called ring groupoid). Using this concept we show that the ring structure of a topological ring lifts to a simply connected covering space.

In this work we deal with coverings and actions of Lie groupgroupoids being a sort of the structured Lie groupoids. Firstly, we define an action of a Lie group-groupoid on some Lie group and the smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids. Later, we show the equivalence of the category of smooth actions of Lie group-groupoids on Lie groups and the category of smooth coverings of Lie group-groupoids.
متن کاملFinite Groupoids, Finite Coverings and Symmetries in Finite Structures
We propose a novel construction of finite hypergraphs and relational structures that is based on reduced products with Cayley graphs of groupoids. To this end we construct groupoids whose Cayley graphs have large girth not just in the usual sense, but with respect to a discounted distance measure that contracts arbitrarily long sequences of edges within the same sub-groupoid (coset) and only co...
متن کاملA Model Structure on the Category of Small Categories for Coverings
We define a new model structure on the category of small categories, which is intimately related to the notion of coverings and fundamental groups of small categories. Fibrant objects in the model structure coincide with groupoids, and the fibrant replacement is the groupoidification.
متن کاملOn Groupoids and Hypergraphs
We present a novel construction of finite groupoids whose Cayley graphs have large girth even w.r.t. a discounted distance measure that contracts arbitrarily long sequences of edges from the same colour class (subgroupoid), and only counts transitions between colour classes (cosets). These groupoids are employed towards a generic construction method for finite hypergraphs that realise specified...
متن کاملVan Kampen theorems for toposes
In this paper we introduce the notion of an extensive 2-category, to be thought of as a “2-category of generalized spaces”. We consider an extensive 2-category K equipped with a binary-product-preserving pseudofunctor C : K op → CAT, which we think of as specifying the “coverings” of our generalized spaces. We prove, in this context, a van Kampen theorem which generalizes and refines one of Bro...
