This paper is devoted to study some topological properties of the SG subgroup, $\pi_1^{sg}(X,x)$, of the quasitopological fundamental group of a based space $(X,x)$, $\pt$, its topological properties as a subgroup of the topological…

We define Peano covering maps and prove basic properties analogous to classical covers. Their domain is always locally path-connected but the range may be an arbitrary topological space. One of characterizations of Peano covering maps is…

The traditional approach of defining the fundamental group first and then constructing universal coverings works well only for the class of Poincar\' e spaces. For general spaces there were several attempts to define generalized coverings…

Topos properties of the category of covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid are discussed. A classification result for connected covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid analogous to the fundamental theorem of Galois theory is given.

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…

In this paper, we show that every topological group is a strong small loop transfer space at the identity element. This implies that the quasitopological fundamental group of a connected locally path connected topological group is a…

A topology on a nonempty set $X$ specifies a natural subset of $\mathcal{P}(X)$. By identifying $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{P}(X))$ with the totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $2^{\mathcal{P}(X)}$, the lattice $Top(X)$ of all topologies…

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 $X$ is naturally isomorphic to the localization, at…

We provide a description of the fundamental group of the quotient of a product of topological spaces $X_i$, each admitting a universal cover, by a finite group $G$, provided that there is only a finite number of path-connected components in…

We show that the fundamental groupoid~\(\Pi_1(X)\) of a locally path connected semilocally simply connected space~\(X\) can be equipped with a \emph{natural} topology so that it becomes a topological groupoid; we also justify the necessity…

We prove that the universal covering space of a complex projective manifold is holomorphically convex provided its fundamental group is linear.

For a connected, locally path connected space $X$, let $H$ be a subgroup of the fundamental group of $X$, $\pi_1(X,x)$. We show that there exists an open cover $\cal U$ of $X$ such that $H$ contains the Spanier group $\pi({\U},x)$ if and…

Let $X$ be a compact toric variety. Let $Hol$ denote the space of based holomorphic maps from $CP^1$ to $X$ which lie in a fixed homotopy class. Let $Map$ denote the corresponding space of continuous maps. We show that $Hol$ has the same…

An orbifold is a topological space modeled on quotient spaces of a finite group actions. We can define the universal cover of an orbifold and the fundamental group as the deck transformation group. Let $G$ be a Lie group acting on a space…

We discuss here geometric structures of condensed matters by means of a fundamental topological method. Any geometric pattern can be universally represented by a decomposition space of a topological space consisting of the infinite product…

Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with negative sectional curvature and residually finite fundamental group. Then its universal covering is a bounded domain in an affine space.

We show that a topometric space $X$ is topometrically isomorphic to a type space of some continuous first-order theory if and only if $X$ is compact and has an open metric (i.e., satisfies that $\{p : d(p,U) < \varepsilon\}$ is open for…

Let $X$ be a connected compact complex manifold admitting a finite surjective map $A \to X$ from a complex torus $A.$ We prove that up to finite \'etale cover, $X$ is a product of projective spaces and a torus.

For a path connected, locally path connected and semilocally simply connected space $X$, let $\Pi_1(X)$ denote its topologised fundamental groupoid as established in the first article of this series. Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the category of…

It is well-known that for certain local connectivity assumptions the fundamental groupoid of a topological space can be equipped with a topology making it a topological groupoid. In other words, the fundamental groupoid functor can be…
