If one define the universal abelian covering $M_0$ of a manifold $M$ as the abelian covering (i.e. normal covering with abelian group of deck transformations) that covers any other abelian covering, ...

Let $X$ be a locally connected topological space, which is covered by open sets $\{U_{\alpha},\alpha\in A\}$ and let $C$ be an arc in $X$, i.e. a homeomorphic image of an interval. Is it always ...

Let $M$ be a finite $CW$-complex. Let $\Sigma_k$ be the symmetric group acting on $k$-letters. Suppose there is a free action of $\Sigma_k$ on $M$. Then we have a covering map $$ f:M\to M/\Sigma_k. ...

I asked this question on math.se (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/647930/image-of-the-map-on-homology-induced-by-a-covering), but it have not attracted much of attention. Let $X$ and $Y$ are ...
