Lecture

The Degree of a Covering Space

Description

This lecture demonstrates that the index of the fundamental group of a covering space in the fundamental group of the space itself is equivalent to the degree of the covering space. It covers the cardinality of pre-images, induced homomorphisms, subgroup compositions, and the bijectivity of a defined map.
