Abstract: Consider a finite, regular cover $YoX$ of finite graphs, with associated deck group $G$. We relate the topology of the cover to the structure of $H_1(Y;mathbbC)$ as a $G$-representation. A central object in this study is the {em primitive homology} group $H_1^{mathrmprim}(Y;mathbbC)subseteq{H}_1(Y;mathbbC)$, which is the span of homology classes represented by components of lifts of primitive elements of $p{i}_1(X)$. This circle of ideas relates combinatorial group theory, surface topology, and representation theory.
