Define what it means for a map p:X→X to be a covering space. State the homotopy lifting lemma.
Let p:(X~,x~0)→(X,x0) be a based covering space and let f:(Y,y0)→(X,x0) be a based map from a path-connected and locally path-connected space. Show that there is a based lift f~:(Y,y0)→(X~,x~0) of f if and only if f∗(π1(Y,y0))⊆p∗(π1(X,x~0)).
