WebLet be a topological space. A covering of is a continuous map. such that there exists a discrete space and for every an open neighborhood , such that and is a homeomorphism … WebOn the other hand, show via covering spaces that any map S2 → S1 × S1 is nullhomotopic. Solution S 1∨S 1is a subcomplex of the CW-complex S ×S1. In particular, (S ×S 1,S ∨ S 1) is a good pair with S ×S 1/S ∨S = S2. This last fact is obvious considering the representation of S 1×S as a square with sides identified, which makes S1 ×S
$S^1 \\times S^2$ vs $S^1 \\vee S^2 \\vee S^3$
WebThe universal covering space of S 2 ∨ S 2 is itself. However, once you introduce the projective plane, the wedge point splits, so S 2 ∨ R P 2 has a chain of three spheres as universal cover, where the middle sphere is a two-sheeted cover of R P 2, and the two other spheres each cover the S 2. WebOct 20, 2024 · To construct a covering space corresponds to a , first considering the universal cover of S 1 ∨ R P 2, fix a "central" sphere S 2, it has four branches, keep two of them unchanged, and for the other two branches, remove them and attach an S 1 instead. Is that correct? I think it is quite hard to discribe... Thanks for patience of reading this. edifors bouillon

WebLet z be the common point (wedge point). Let x 0 be another point on S 2, and x 1 be another point on S 1. Then let Q = X ∖ x 0, and P = X ∖ x 1. Clearly, X = Q ∪ P, and Q, P both open. Now, π 1 ( Q) = Z, since the punctured sphere is homeomorphic to R 2, which def. retracts to the point z and we are left with just S 1. WebNov 25, 2016 · My gut says 'no,' since the universal covering space is universal - there should only be one up to homeomorphism. $\endgroup$ – A. Thomas Yerger.
