We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…

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 develop the notion of a geometric covering of a rigid space X, which yields a much larger class of covering spaces than that studied previously by de Jong. Geometric coverings of X are closed under disjoint unions and are \'etale local…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…

The main goal of the paper is to prove the existence of the universal cover for $RCD^*(K,N)$-spaces. This generalizes earlier work of C. Sormani and the second named author on the existence of universal covers for Ricci limit spaces. As a…

We give a short proof that, for nice $X$, the based fundamental groupoid of $X$ with topology induced by the compact open topology on the space of paths, is indeed the universal covering space of $X$.

This paper is about geometric and topological properties of a proper CAT(0) space $X$ which is cocompact - i.e. which has a compact generating domain with respect to the full isometry group. It is shown that geodesic segments in $X$ can…

We give various applications of essential circles (introduced in an earlier paper by the authors) in a compact geodesic space X. Essential circles completely determine the homotopy critical spectrum of X, which we show is precisely 2/3 the…

The full solenoid over a topological space $X$ is the inverse limit of all finite covers. When $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space admitting a locally path connected universal cover, we relate the pointed homotopy equivalences of the full…

In topology, the notions of the fundamental group and the universal cover are closely intertwined. By importing usual notions from topology into the algebraic and arithmetic setting, we construct a fundamental group family from a universal…

We extend the classical result of Lyusternik and Fet on the existence of closed geodesics to singular spaces. We show that if $X$ is a compact geodesic metric space satisfying the CAT($\kappa $) condition for some fixed $\kappa >0$ and…

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…

If $X$ is a topological group, then its fundamental groupoid $\pi_1X$ is a group-groupoid which is a group object in the category of groupoids. Further if $X$ is a path connected topological group which has a simply connected cover, then…

In this paper, using the classical covering theory, we introduce a generalization of covering maps of a space $X$ with respect to a topology $\tau$ on the fundamental group of $X$. We show that the famous notions, covering, semicovering,…

Local properties of the fundamental group of a path-connected topological space can pose obstructions to the applicability of covering space theory. A generalized covering map is a generalization of the classical notion of covering map…

Assume that $\mathcal{P}$ is a topological property of a space $X$, then we say that $X$ is {\it dense-$\mathcal{P}$} if each dense subset of $X$ has the property $\mathcal{P}$. In this paper, we mainly discuss dense subsets of a space $X$,…

For compact manifolds with infinite fundamental group we present sufficient topological or metric conditions ensuring the existence of two geometrically distinct closed geodesics. We also show how results about generic Riemannian metrics…

It is important to classify covering subgroups of the fundamental group of a topological space using their topological properties in the topologized fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce and study some topologies on the fundamental…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…

We generalize and strengthen the theorem of Gromov that every compact Riemannian manifold of diameter at most D has a set of generators g_1,...,g_k of length at most 2D and relators of the form g_ig_m = g_j . In particular, we obtain an…
