Abstract

Let Y be a connected group and let f:X->Y be a covering map with the total space X being connected. The following question is considered: Is it possible to define a topological group structure on X making f a homomorphism of topological groups. The question is answered in the negative by constructing a connected infinite-sheeted covering map over an arbitrary solenoid which is not an overlay map and consequently not a covering homomorphism.
