Abstract: In ``Rips complexes and covers in the uniform category the authors define, following James, covering maps of uniform spaces and introduce the concept of generalized uniform covering maps. Conditions for the existence of universal uniform covering maps and generalized uniform covering maps are given. This paper notes that the universal generalized uniform covering map is uniformly equivalent to the inverse limit of uniform covering maps and is therefore approximated by uniform covering maps. A characterization of generalized uniform covering maps that are approximated by uniform covering maps is provided as well as a characterization of generalized uniform covering maps that are uniformly equivalent to the inverse limit of uniform covering maps. Inverse limits of group actions that induce generalized uniform covering maps are also treated.

Review text

It is well-known that some spaces \(X\) admit universal coverings \(p: \tilde{X} \longrightarrow X\) , \(\pi_1 (\tilde{X})=0\) as well as coverings associated with given subgroups of \(\pi_1 (X)\). The objective of the present paper is the same but for uniform structures. Here uniform as well as generalized uniform covering maps appear. The paper is based on a manuscript of the author and some coauthors, which appears as a preprint, hence not being available to the poor reader, in the bibliography. This paper contains an existence theorem of a universal generalized uniform covering space for locally uniform joinable chain connected spaces. The objective of the present paper is to extend this result to given subgroups of the fundamental group, resp. to subgroups of a group which turns, at least for metric compacta, to be isomorphic to the shape fundamental group \(\breve{\pi}_1(X)\).
