36 Galois covers Given a cover p : Y X, its automorphisms are to be automorphisms of Y as a space over X i.e. automorphisms compatible with p. This is a group with respect to composition, and we will denote it Aut (Y X ). If we fix a point x X, the group Aut (Y X ) maps the set p 1 (x) onto itself, so p 1 (x) has a natural Aut (Y X ) action.

39 Fundamental theorem of Galois covers Theorem Let p : Y X be a Galois cover. For each subgroup H of G = Aut (Y X ), the projection p induces a natural map p H : H \ Y X which turns H \ Y into a cover of X. Conversely, if Z X is a connected cover fitting into a commutative diagram Y f Z p then f : Y Z is a Galois cover and actually Z = H \ Y for the subgroup H = Aut (Y Z) of G. The maps H H \ Y, Z Aut(Y Z) induce a bijection between subgroups of G and intermediate covers Z as above. The cover q : Z X is Galois if and only if H is a normal subgroup of G, in which case Aut (Z X ) = G/H. X q

The automorphism group of this space can be determined by data intrinsic to X, namely the fundamental group of X. Definition Suppose X and Y are connected topological spaces and p : Y X is a covering map. p : Y X is called the universal covering of X if it satisfies the following universal property. For every covering map q : Z X, with Z connected, and every choice of points y 0 Y, z 0 Z with p(y 0 ) = q(z 0 ), there exists exactly one continuous fiber-preserving map f : Y Z such that f (y 0 ) = z 0.
