| Nov 7, 2012 at 3:48 | comment | added | Lee Mosher | I'll point to my old favorite, Spanier, for this point of view on "universal covering space". | |
| Nov 6, 2012 at 18:39 | comment | added | Glen M Wilson | Yes, that was what I felt like it should be. However, it seemed Hatcher took a different approach by (sort of) defining simply connected covering spaces to be universal covers for nice enough spaces. At any rate, I agree with you entirely and am glad to now better understand things. | |
| Nov 6, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | Lee Mosher | It's actually not necessary to introduce terminology like "initial covering space", because what you have defined is exactly the meaning of "universal covering space". It is not (or should not be) a DEFINITION that a universal covering space is a simply connected covering space. It is (or should be) a THEOREM, under appropriate hypotheses. | |
