discrete topology
Not what you're looking for?
A covering map is a map p: E -> B with the property that each point b, an element of B, has a neighborhood U such that p^-1(U) is a disjoint union of open sets V_alpha such that, for each alpha, the restriction of p to V_alpha is a homeomorphism of V_alpha onto U.
Show that, if Y has the discrete topology and if p: X x Y --> X is the projection onto the first factor, then p is a covering map.
