Regular coverings and fundamental groupoids of Alexandroff spaces

Algebraic Topology 2019-07-08 v1

Abstract

We summarize several results about the regular coverings and the fundamental groupoids of Alexandroff spaces. In particular, we show that the fundamental groupoid of an Alexandroff space XX is naturally isomorphic to the localization, at its set of morphisms, of the thin category associated to the set XX considered as a preordered set with the specialization preorder. We also show that the regular coverings of an Alexandroff space XX are represented by certain morphism-inverting functors with domain XX, extending a result of E. Minian and J. Barmak about the regular coverings of locally finite T0_0 spaces.
