Covering Spaces Classical de � inition A covering space of A is a space C together with a continuous surjective map p : C → A , such that for every a ∈ A , there exists an open neighborhood U of a , such that p -1 (U) is a union of disjoint open sets in A , each of which is mapped homeomorphically onto U by p . Type-theoretic de � inition F : A → Set
Theorem* Sets with some action by the � irst homotopy group of A ≃ Covering spaces F : A → Set More results in “Higher Groups in Homotopy Type Theory” *A is pointed and connected
