Covering Spaces: Algebraic Topology problem
________________________________________
Assume X and Y are arcwise connected and locally arcwise connected,
X is compact Hausdorff, and Y is Hausdorff. Let f: X-->Y be a local homeomorphism. Prove that (X,f) is a covering space.
Solution:
an arc connecting two points and of a topological space is not simply (like a path) a continuous function such that and , but must also have a continuous inverse function, i.e., that it is a homeomorphism between and the image of f.
