Covering Spaces and the Monodromy Theorem

  • Chapter
Complex Analysis in One Variable

Abstract

We shall develop the results of this chapter in the context of manifolds (Definition 1 in §2.1 below) although these results, and most of their proofs, remain valid for more general spaces. This is done to keep the statements relatively simple, and manifolds are ample for the applications we have in mind.
