Classifying finite-sheeted covering mappings of paracompact spaces.

Vlasta Matijevic (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

The main result of the present paper is a classification theorem for finite-sheeted covering mappings over connected paracompact spaces. This theorem is a generalization of the classical classification theorem for covering mappings over a connected locally pathwise connected semi-locally 1-connected space in the finite-sheeted case. To achieve the result we use the classification theorem for overlay structures which was recently proved by S. Mardesic and V. Matijevic (Theorems 1 and 4 of [5]).

Coarse topology, enlargeability, and essentialness

Bernhard Hanke, Dieter Kotschick, John Roe, Thomas Schick (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Using methods from coarse topology we show that fundamental classes of closed enlargeable manifolds map non-trivially both to the rational homology of their fundamental groups and to the K -theory of the corresponding reduced C * -algebras. Our proofs do not depend on the Baum–Connes conjecture and provide independent confirmation for specific predictions derived from this conjecture.
