The covering associated to a subgroup #
For a subgroup H ≤ π₁(X, x₀), UniversalCover.SubgroupQuotient x₀ H is already defined as
the orbit quotient of the universal cover by H, and UniversalCover.subgroupQuotientProj
is its descended endpoint projection. This file proves that the descended projection is a
covering map.
The two inputs are that UniversalCover.proj and UniversalCover.subgroupQuotientMap are
quotient covering maps, for π₁(X, x₀) and for H respectively, and that the first factors
through the second. TauCeti.IsQuotientCoveringMap.isCoveringMap_of_comp turns exactly that
data into a covering map: the sheets of the descended projection over the image of a locally
disjoint set U are the images of the translates of U. Nothing about good neighbourhoods of
the base, their path-connectedness, or the transport of a sheet of proj along the
fundamental-group action enters here, because the general statement uses only the disjointness
built into IsQuotientCoveringMap.
The conclusion is not inherited formally from the two quotient maps being covering maps: the
deck group of UniversalCover x₀ / H over X is the normalizer quotient N(H) / H, which is
transitive on the fibres only for normal H, so the descended projection is generally not
itself a quotient covering map for any group.

The endpoint projection on the quotient of the universal cover by H is a covering map.
The quotient of the universal cover by a subgroup is locally path-connected, being the total
space of a covering space of the locally path-connected base X.

Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
Fibre transport identifies the bundled distinguished point with the quotient distinguished point.
The cover associated to the whole fundamental group is X itself. The comparison is the
descended endpoint projection, so this cover is the trivial one-sheeted cover.
