TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.UniversalCover.Classification.DeckGroup

The deck group of the cover attached to a subgroup #

For H ≤ π₁(X, x₀), the orbit quotient UniversalCover x₀ / H is a covering space of X through UniversalCover.subgroupQuotientProj. This file computes its deck transformation group:

deck (subgroupQuotientProj x₀ H) ≃* N(H) ⧸ H,

and, when H is normal, deck (subgroupQuotientProj x₀ H) ≃* π₁(X, x₀) ⧸ H. Both are the specialisation to the universal cover of TauCeti.Deck.IsQuotientCoveringMap.normalizerQuotientDeckMulEquiv.

The isomorphism is stated for the left action of π₁(X, x₀) on the universal cover, in which a loop class acts by prepending its inverse; this is the same convention as TauCeti.Deck.IsQuotientCoveringMap.deckMulEquiv, and it is why no ᵐᵒᵖ appears here, unlike in the monodromy identification UniversalCover.deckFundamentalGroupEquiv.

Taking H = ⊥ recovers the deck group of the universal cover itself; taking H normal and H = ⊥ gives π₁(X, x₀) again.

It consumes the based-path universal cover adapted from Kim Morrison's mathlib4#38292, Mathlib's quotient-covering-map interface due to Junyan Xu, and the covering-map property of subgroupQuotientProj proved in TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.UniversalCover.Classification.Existence.

The deck group of the cover attached to H ≤ π₁(X, x₀) is the normalizer quotient N(H) ⧸ H. A normalizer class acts by descending its translation of the universal cover.

    The normalizer class of g acts on the cover attached to H by sending the class of e to the class of g • e.

    @[simp]

    The inverse of the deck transformation attached to the normalizer class of g sends the class of e to the class of g⁻¹ • e.

    For a normal subgroup H ◁ π₁(X, x₀), the deck group of the cover attached to H is π₁(X, x₀) ⧸ H, so that cover is regular.
