Covering

Regular covering

A regular covering is a covering for which the characteristic subgroup is basepoint-invariant #m/def/homotopy or equivalently, the characteristic subgroup¹ is normal.

Properties

Note that many of these properties are restricted to connected and path-connected regular coverings.

• Deck transformation group of a regular covering as quotient
• A covering is regular iff its deck transformation group acts transitively on fibres
• Correspondence between regular coverings and orbit spaces of their deck transformation groups
