Regular coverings and fundamental groupoids of Alexandroff spaces (1907.02624v1)

Abstract: We summarize several results about the regular coverings and the fundamental groupoids of Alexandroff spaces. In particular, we show that the fundamental groupoid of an Alexandroff space $X$ is naturally isomorphic to the localization, at its set of morphisms, of the thin category associated to the set $X$ considered as a preordered set with the specialization preorder. We also show that the regular coverings of an Alexandroff space $X$ are represented by certain morphism-inverting functors with domain $X$, extending a result of E. Minian and J. Barmak about the regular coverings of locally finite T$_0$ spaces.
