Abstract

Let L be a local topological group whose underlying space has a universal cover. Then the fundamental groupoid \(\pi _1(L)\) becomes a local topological group-groupoid. In this paper, we prove that the slice category \({\mathsf {LTGpCov}}/L\) of covering moprphisms \(p:\widetilde{L}\rightarrow L\) of local topological groups in which \(\widetilde{L}\) has also a universal cover and the category \({\mathsf {LTGpGdCov}}/\pi _{1}(L)\) of covering morphisms \(q:\widetilde{G}\rightarrow \pi _1(L) \) of local topological group-groupoids based on \(\pi _1(L)\) are equivalent.
