Abstract:

In this paper we shall study homomorphisms $p:W \to Y$ on minimal transformation groups. We shall prove, in the case that W and Y are metrizable, that W is a finite (N-to-1) extension of Y if and only if W is an N-fold covering space of Y and p is a covering map. This result places no further restrictions on the acting group. We shall then use this characterization to investigate the question of lifting an equicontinuous structure from Y to W. We show that, under very weak restrictions on the acting group, this lifting is always possible when W is a finite extension of Y.
