Pulling connected covers back along a homeomorphism of the base #
A homeomorphism h : X ≃ₜ Y pulls a covering space p : E → Y back to the covering space
h.symm ∘ p : E → X of X, with the same total space. This file packages that operation on the
connected covering spaces of TauCeti.Topology.Covering.Category and on the three rigidified
carriers of TauCeti.AlgebraicTopology.UniversalCover.Classification.NumberedFiber, and computes
its effect on monodromy.
TauCeti.ConnectedCoveringSpace.pullback his the functorConnectedCoveringSpace Y ⥤ ConnectedCoveringSpace X; it keeps the total space and the maps of total spaces, and composes the projection withh.symm. Pulling back along the identity is the identity functor, and pulling back along a composite is the composite of the pullbacks in the reverse order (TauCeti.ConnectedCoveringSpace.pullback_refl,TauCeti.ConnectedCoveringSpace.pullback_trans), so the self-homeomorphisms ofXact on its covers through this functor.- When
h x = y, the fibre of the pulled-back cover overxis the fibre of the original cover overy(TauCeti.ConnectedCoveringSpace.pullbackFiberEquiv), and under that identification the monodromy of the pullback along a loopγatxis the monodromy of the original cover along the image looph ∘ γaty(TauCeti.ConnectedCoveringSpace.pullbackFiberEquiv_monodromy). Pulling back is contravariant: the cover ofXseesπ₁(X, x)through the isomorphismπ₁(X, x) ≃* π₁(Y, y)induced byh. - Consequently a fibre-numbered cover of
(Y, y)pulls back to a fibre-numbered cover of(X, x)whose numbered monodromy representation is the original one precomposed with that isomorphism (TauCeti.ConnectedFiberNumberedCover.permCongrHom_comp_monodromyPerm_pullback), a pointed cover pulls back to a pointed cover, and a bare cover to a bare cover. Pullback descends to the isomorphism classes of all three kinds of covers, satisfies the identity and composition laws on the nose at every level, and commutes with relabelling and with the forgetful maps between the levels.
For the thrice-punctured sphere this is how the anharmonic self-homeomorphisms act on covers: the
pullback along z ↦ 1 − z, which fixes the basepoint, realizes the exchange of the branch points
0 and 1 on monodromy triples.

The pullback of connected covering spaces along a homeomorphism h : X ≃ₜ Y of bases: the
total space is unchanged and the projection is composed with h.symm. On morphisms it is the
identity on maps of total spaces.
Equations

Instances For
The projection of the pullback is the original projection followed by h.symm.
The pullback functor acts on morphisms by the same map of total spaces.
Pulling back along the identity is the identity functor.
When h x = y, the fibre of the pullback over x is the fibre of the original cover over
y: both are the same subset of the common total space.
Equations
Instances For
On underlying points, the fibre identification of the pullback is the identity.
On underlying points, the inverse fibre identification of the pullback is the identity.
The monodromy of a pullback is the monodromy along the image loop. Under the fibre
identification, the pullback along h transports a point of the fibre along a loop γ at x
exactly as the original cover transports it along h ∘ γ at y.

Pullback along h, on isomorphism classes of pointed covers: pull back the class of any
numbering of the cover and mark the label of the chosen point again. This does not depend on the
numbering because pullback commutes with relabelling
(TauCeti.ConnectedFiberNumberedCoverClass.pullback_smul), and it is characterized by
TauCeti.ConnectedFiberNumberedCoverClass.markLabel_pullback and pullback_mk.
