4Continuous function (topology) — In topology and related areas of mathematics a continuous function is a morphism between topological spaces. Intuitively, this is a function f where a set of points near f(x) always contain the image of a set of points near x . For a general… …

9Local homeomorphism — In topology, a local homeomorphism is a map from one topological space to another that respects locally the topological structure of the two spaces. More precisely, a continuous map f : X rarr; Y is a local homeomorphism if for every point x of X …
10Covering space — A covering map satisfies the local triviality condition. Intuitively, such maps locally project a stack of pancakes above an open region, U, onto U. In mathematics, more specifically algebraic topology, a covering map is a continuous surjective… …
