Abstract
All spaces are assumed to be locally path connected and semi-locally 1-connected. Let X be a connected topological group with identity e, and let be the universal cover of the underlying space of X. It follows easily from classical properties of lifting maps to covering spaces that for any point ẽ in with pẽ = e there is a unique structure of topological group on such that ẽ is the identity and is a morphism of groups. We say that the structure of topological group on X lifts to .
