In telecommunication, cover is the technique of concealing or altering the characteristics of communications patterns for the purpose of denying an unauthorized receiver information that would be of value.Note: Cover is a process of modulo two addition of a pseudorandom bit stream generated by a cryptographic device with bits from the control message.
Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188 In philately a cover is an envelope or package, typically with stamps that have been cancelled. In pop music a cover is a new version of a previously recorded song. Virtually all pop musicians play covers, as tributes to their mentors, or on the theory that what was a hit before may be a hit again, or to gain credibility from their comparison with the original. See also: cover version. A cover band may play only music by one more prominent band or may play music from many sources. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the original sense of the verb and noun cover was "to hide from view" as in its cognate covert. Except in the limited sense of "cover again", the word recover is unrelated and is cognate with recuperate.

A cover version of a pop song is a rerecording of that song by a different artist (compare with remake).From early in the 20th century it was common practice among phonograph record labels that if any company had a record that was a significant commercial success, other record companies would have singers or musicians "cover" the tune by recording a version for their own label in hopes of cashing in on the tune's success.
In the early days of rock and roll, many songs originally recorded by African American rock musicians were rerecorded by white artists, such as Pat Boone, in a more toned down style that lacked the hard edge of rock and roll. These cover versions were considered by some to be more palatable to parents, and white artists were more palatable to programmers at white radio stations.
Over the years, cover versions of many popular songs have been recorded, sometimes with a radically different style, and in other cases the cover version is virtually indistinguishable from the original. For example, Jose Feliciano's version of "Light My Fire" was utterly distinct from the original version by The Doors; but Carl Carlton's 1974 cover of Robert Knight's 1967 hit single song "Everlasting Love" sounds almost identical to the original. Cover versions can also be in different languages; for example, Falco's 1982 German-language hit "Der Kommissar" was covered in English by After the Fire later in the decade, although the German title was retained. The English version, which was not a direct translation of Falco's original but retained much of its spirit, reached the Top 5 on the US charts.
The subgenre of the cover version that existed from the early 1950's to the late 1970's in Louisiana was known as Swamp Pop. Contemporary and classic rock, R&B, and country songs were re-recorded with Cajun preferences in mind. Some lyrics were translated to French, and some were recorded with traditional Cajun instrumentation. Several Swamp Pop originals charted nationally, but it was mostly a regional niche market.
Punk music is known for deconstructing classic rock or pop songs by reinterpreting them in punk form. Bands like Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, NOFX and Goldfinger are especially known for doing so. In recent years, several jam bands and related groups have begun covering hip hop songs, most frequently only live in concert. Perhaps the most famous such-cover recorded in a studio and released commercially is a bluegrass version of "Gin and Juice" by Snoop Doggy Dogg, as performed by the Gourds. Other artists like Phish and Keller Williams have covered "Rappers Delight" (The Sugarhill Gang), "I Like Big Butts" (Sir Mix-A-Lot) and other hip hop songs.
The Beatles have been covered more than any other band; "Yesterday" has been covered over three thousand times since its original release in 1965. Other songs which have been released many times as cover versions include the infamous "Louie Louie" by Richard Berry, "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), "No Woman No Cry" (Bob Marley & the Wailers) and many of the less recent works of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen (as of December 31, 2002, there were at least 759 published cover versions of Cohen songs [1]).
Many popular bands have a tribute album, consisting entirely of covers of their songs performed by various other bands, often quite different from the original. The soundtrack to the film I Am Sam was a particularly popular example of this; it consisted of Beatles songs redone by various modern artists.
Jam bands such as Phish and The Grateful Dead are known for playing covers in concert, generally, and not on studio albums.
Some examples of commercially successful or otherwise notable cover versions are:

In mathematics, specifically topology, a covering map is a continuous surjective map p : C → X, with C and X being topological spaces, which has the following property:A covering map is also simply called a cover; we say C is a covering space of X or C covers X. For each x∈X, the set p -1(x'\') is called the fiber over x; the sets Si are called the sheets over U. One generally pictures C as "hovering above" X, with p mapping "downwards", the sheets over U being horizontally stacked above each other and above U, and the fiber over x consisting of those points of C that lie "vertically above" x''.
- to every x∈X there exists an open neighborhood U such that p -1(U) is a union of mutually disjoint open sets Si (where i ranges over some index set I) such that p restricted to Si yields a homeomorphism from Si to U for every i∈I.
Examples
Consider the unit circle S1 in R2. Then the map p : R → S1 with p(t) = (cos(t),sin(t)) is a cover.
Consider the complex plane with the origin removed, denoted by C×, and pick a non-zero integer n. Then p : C× → C× given by p(z) = zn is a cover. Here every fiber has n elements.
If G is group (considered as a discrete topological group), then every principal G-bundle is a covering map. Here every fiber can be identified with G.
Elementary properties
Every cover p : C → X is a local homeomorphism (i.e. to every c∈C there exists an open set A in C containing c and an open set B in X such that the restriction of p to A yields a homeomorphism between A and B). This implies that C and X share all local properties.
For every x∈X, the fiber over x is a discrete subset of C. On every connected component of X, the cardinality of the fibers is the same (possibly infinite). If every fiber has 2 elements, we speak of a double cover.
The lifting property: if p : C → X is a cover and γ is a path in X (i.e. a continuous map from the unit interval [0,1] into X) and c∈C is a point "lying over" γ(0) (i.e. p(c) = γ(0)), then there exists a unique path ρ in C lying over γ (i.e. p o ρ = γ) and with ρ(0) = c.
If x and y are two points in X connected by a path, then that path furnishes a bijection between the fiber over x and the fiber over y via the lifting property.
Universal covers
A cover q : D → X is a universal cover iff D is simply connected. The name comes from the following important property: if p : C → X is any cover of X with C connected, then there exists a covering map f : D → C such that p o f = q. This can be phrased as "The universal cover of X covers all connected covers of X."
The map f is unique in the following sense: if we fix x∈X and d∈D with q(d) = x and c∈C with p(c) = x, then there exists a unique covering map f : D → C such that p o f = q and f(d) = c.
If X has a universal cover, then that universal cover is essentially unique: if q1 : D1 → X and q2 : D2 → X are two universal covers of X, then there exists a homeomorphism f : D1 → D2 such that q2 o f = q1.
The space X has a universal cover if and only if it is path-connected, locally path-connected and semi-locally simply connected. The universal cover of X can be constructed as a certain space of paths in X.
The example R → S1 given above is a universal cover. The map S3 → SO(3) from unit quaternions to rotations of 3D space described in quaternions and spatial rotation is also a universal cover.
If the space X carries some additional structure, then its universal cover normally inherits that structure:
- if X is a manifold, then so is its universal cover C
- if X is a Riemann surface, then so is its universal cover C, and p is a holomorphic map
- if X is a Lie group (as in the two examples above), then so is its universal cover C, and p is a homomorphism of Lie groups.
Deck transformation group, regular covers
A deck transformation or automorphism of a cover p : C → X is a homeomorphism f : C → C such that p o f = p. The set of all deck transformations of p forms a group under composition, the deck transformation group Aut(p).
Every deck transformation permutes the elements of each fiber. This defines a group action of the deck transformation group on each fiber.
Now suppose p : C → X is a covering map and C (and therefore also X) is connected and locally path connected. The action of Aut(p) on each fiber is free. If this action is transitive on some fiber, then it is transitive on all fibers, and we call the cover regular. Every such regular cover is a principal G-bundle, where G = Aut(p) is considered as a discrete topological group.
Every universal cover p : D → X is regular, with deck transformation group being isomorphic to the opposite of the fundamental group π(X).
The example p : C× → C× with p(z) = zn from above is a regular cover. The deck transformations are multiplications with n-th roots of unity and the deck transformation group is therefore isomorphic to the cyclic group Cn.
Monodromy action
Again suppose p : C → X is a covering map and C (and therefore also X) is connected and locally path connected. If x∈X and c belongs to the fiber over x (i.e. p(c) = x), and γ:[0,1]→X is a path with γ(0)=γ(1)=x, then this path lifts to a unique path in C with starting point c. The end point of this lifted path need not be c, but it must lie in the fiber over x. It turns out that this end point only depends on the class of γ in the fundamental group π(X,x), and in this fashion we obtain a right group action of π(X,x) on the fiber over x. This is known as the monodromy action.
So there are two actions on the fiber over x: Aut(p) acts on the left and π(X,x) acts on the right. These two actions are compatible in the following sense:
for all f∈Aut(p), c∈p -1(x) and γ∈π(X,x).
- f.(c.γ) = (f.c).γ
If p is a universal cover, then the monodromy action is regular; if we identify Aut(p) with the opposite group of π(X,x), then the monodromy action coincides with the action of Aut(p) on the fiber over x.

This is a glossary of some terms used in the branch of mathematics known as topology. Although there is no clear distinction between different areas of topology, this glossary focuses primarily on general topology and definitions that are fundamental to a broad range of areas. See the article on topological spaces for basic definitions and examples, and see the article on topology for a brief history and description of the subject area.The following articles may also be useful. These either contain specialised vocabulary within general topology or provide more detailed expositions of the definitions given below. The list of general topology topics will also be very helpful.
All spaces in this glossary are assumed to be topological spaces unless stated otherwise.
- Compact space
- Connected space
- Continuity (topology)
- Metric space
- Separated sets
- Separation axiom
- Uniform space
Isotonicity: Every set is contained in its closure.
- Accessible. See T1.
- Baire space. A space X is a Baire space if it is not meagre in itself. Equivalently, X is a Baire space if the intersection of countably many dense open sets is dense.
- Base. A set of open sets is a base (or basis) for a topology if every open set in the topology is a union of sets in the base. The topology generated by a base is the smallest topology containing the base elements; this topology consists of all unions of elements of the base.
- Basis. See Base.
- Borel algebra. The Borel algebra on a space X is the smallest σ-algebra containing all the open sets.
- Borel set. A Borel set is an element of a Borel algebra.
- Boundary. The boundary of a set is the set's closure minus its interior. Equivalently, the boundary of a set is the intersection of its closure with the closure of its complement.
- Cauchy sequence. A sequence {xi} in a metric space M with metric d is called a Cauchy sequence (or Cauchy for short) if for every positive real number r, there is an integer N such that for all integers m and n greater than N, the distance d(xm, xn) is less than r.
- Clopen. A set is clopen if it is both open and closed.
- Closed set. A set is closed if its complement is a member of the topology.
- Closed function. A function from one space to another is closed if the image of every closed set is closed.
- Closure. The closure of a set is the intersection of all closed sets which contain it. It is the smallest closed set containing the original set.

- Completely metrizable/completely metrisable. See Topologically complete.
- Completely normal. A space is completely normal if any two separated sets have disjoint neighbourhoods.
- Completely normal Hausdorff. A completely normal Hausdorff space (or T5 space) is a completely normal T1 space. (A completely normal space is Hausdorff if and only if it is T1, so the terminology is consistent.) Completely normal Hausdorff spaces are always normal Hausdorff.
- Completely regular. A space is completely regular if whenever C is a closed set and p is a point not in C, then C and {p} are functionally separated.
- Completely regular Hausdorff. See Tychonoff.
- Completely T3. See Tychonoff.
- Component. See connected component.
- Connected. A space X is connected if it is not the union of a pair of disjoint nonempty open sets. Equivalently, a space is connected if the only clopen sets are the whole space and the empty set.
- Connected component. A connected component of a space is a maximal connected subspace. The connected components of a space form a partition of that space.
- Continuous. A function from one space to another is continuous if the preimage of every open set is open.

- Gδ set. A Gδ set is a countable intersection of open sets.
- Hausdorff. A space is Hausdorff (or T2) if every two distinct points have disjoint neighbourhoods. Hausdorff spaces are always T1.
- Hereditary. A property of spaces is said to be hereditary if whenever a space has that property, then so does every subspace of it. For example, second-countability is a hereditary property.
- Homeomorphism. A homeomorphism from a space X to a space Y is a bijective map f : X → Y such that f and f -1 are continuous. The spaces X and Y are then said to be homeomorphic. From the standpoint of topology, homeomorphic spaces are identical.
- Homogeneous. A space X is homogeneous if for every x and y in X there is a homeomorphism f : X -> X such that f(x) = y. Intuitively speaking, this means that the space looks the same at every point. All topological groups are homogeneous.
- Homotopic maps. Two continuous maps f, g : X -> Y are homotopic if there is a continuous map H: X× [0,1] → Y, such that H(x,0) = f(x) and H(x,1) = g(x) for all x in X. Here, the space X × [0,1] is given the usual product topology. The function H is called a homotopy between f and g.
- Indiscrete space. See Trivial topology.
- Indiscrete topology. See Trivial topology.

- Kuratowski closure axioms. The Kuratowski closure axioms are a set of axioms satisied by the closure operator:
Idempotence: The closure of the closure of a set is equal to the closure of that set. Preservation of binary unions: The closure of the union of two sets is the union of their closures. Preservation of nullary unions: The closure of the empty set is empty.
d(x, y) ≥ 0
- Limit point. A point x in X is a limit point of a subset S if every open set containing x also contains a point of S other than x itself. This is equivalent to requiring that every neighbourhood of x contains a point of S other than x itself.
- Lindelöf. A space is Lindelöf if every open cover has a countable subcover.
- Local base. A set B of neighbourhoods of a point x of a topological space X is a local base (or local basis, neighbourhood base, neighbourhood basis) at x if every neighbourhood of x contains some member of B.
- Local basis. See Local base.

- Meagre. If X is a space and A is a subset of X, then A is meagre in X (or of first category in X) if it is the countable union of nowhere dense sets. If A is not meagre in X, A is sometimes said to be of second category in X.
- Metric. See Metric space.
- Metric space. A metric space is a set M equipped with a function d : M × M → R satisfying the following conditions for all x, y, and z in M:
d(x, x) = 0 if d(x, y) = 0 then x = y (identity of indiscernibles) d(x, y) = d(y, x) (symmetry) d(x, z) ≤ d(x, y) + d(y, z) (triangle inequality) The function d is called a metric on M.
The empty set and X are in T.
- Metrizable/Metrisable. A space is metrizable if it is homeomorphic to a metric space. Metrizable spaces are always Hausdorff and paracompact (and hence normal and Tychonoff), and first-countable.
- Neighbourhood/Neighborhood. A neighbourhood of a set S is a set containing an open set which in turn contains the set S. (Note that the neighbourhood itself need not be open.) A neighbourhood of a point p is a neighbourhood of the singleton set {p}.
- Neighbourhood base. See Local base.
- Neighbourhood basis. See Local base.
- Net. A net in a space X is a map from a directed set A to X. A net from A to X is usually denoted (xα), where α is in an index variable ranging over A. Every sequence is a net, taking A to be the directed set of natural numbers with the usual ordering.
- Normal. A space is normal if any two disjoint closed sets have disjoint neighbourhoods. Normal spaces admit partitions of unity.
- Normal Hausdorff. A normal Hausdorff space (or T4 space) is a normal T1 space. (A normal space is Hausdorff if and only if it is T1, so the terminology is consistent.) Normal Hausdorff spaces are always Tychonoff.
- Nowhere dense. A nowhere dense set is a set whose closure has empty interior.
- Open cover. See Cover.
- Open set. A set is open if it is a member of the topology.
- Open function. A function from one space to another is open if the image of every open set is open.
- Paracompact. A space is paracompact if every open cover has an open locally finite refinement. Paracompact Hausdorff spaces are normal.
- Partition of unity. A partition of unity of a space X is a set of continuous functions from X to [0,1] such that any point has a neighbourhood where all but a finite number of the functions are identically zero, and the sum of all the functions on the entire space is identically 1.
- Path-connected. A space X is path-connected if for every two points x, y in X, there is a path p from x to y, i.e., a continuous map p: [0,1] → X with p(0) = x and p(1) = y. Path-connected spaces are always connected.
- Point. This term is often used to refer to elements of the topological space.
- Polish. A space is called Polish if it is metrizable with a separable and complete metric.
- Product topology. If {Xi} is a collection of spaces and X is the (set-theoretic) product of {Xi}, then the product topology on X is the weakest topology for which all the projection maps are continuous.
- Punctured neighbourhood/Punctured neighborhood. A punctured neighbourhood of a point p is a neighbourhood of p, minus {p}. For instance, the interval (-1,1) = {x : -1 < x < 1} is a neighbourhood of 0 in the real line, so the set (-1,0) ∪ (0,1) = (-1,1) - {0} is a punctured neighbourhood of 0.
- Quotient space. If X and Y are spaces and f : X → Y is any function, then the quotient space on Y induced by f is the weakest topology for which f is continuous. The most common example of this is to consider an equivalence relation on X, with Y the set of equivalence classes and f the natural projection map.
- Refinement. A cover K is a refinement of a cover L if every member of K is a subset of some member of L.
- Regular. A space is regular if whenever C is a closed set and p is a point not in C, then C and p have disjoint neighbourhoods.
- Regular Hausdorff. A space is regular Hausdorff (or T3) if it is a regular T0 space. (A regular space is Hausdorff if and only if it is T0, so the terminology is consistent.)
- Residual. If X is a space and A is a subset of X, then A is residual in X if the complement of A is meagre in X.
- Second category. See Meagre.
- Second-countable. A space is second-countable if it has a countable base for its topology. Second-countable spaces are always separable, first-countable and Lindelöf.
- Separable. A space is separable if it has a countable dense subset.
- Separated. Two sets A and B are separated if each is disjoint from the other's closure.
- Sierpinski space. Let S = {0,1}. Then T = is a topology on S, and the resulting space is called Sierpinski space. The Sierpinski space is the simplest example of a space that does not satisfy the T1 axiom.
- Simply connected. A space X is simply connected if it is path-connected and every continuous map f: S1 → X is homotopic to a constant map.
- Subbase. A set of open sets is a subbase (or subbasis) for a topology if every open set in the topology is a union of finite intersections of sets in the subbase. The topology generated by a subbase is the smallest topology containing the subbase elements; this topology consists of all finite intersections of unions of elements of the subbase.
- Subbasis. See Subbase.
- Subcover. A cover K is a subcover (or subcovering) of a cover L if every member of K is a member of L.
- Subcovering. See Subcover.
- Subspace. If X is a space and A is a subset of X, then the subspace topology on A induced by X consists of all intersections of open sets in X with A.
- T0. A space is T0 (or Kolmogorov) if for every pair of distinct points x and y in the space, either there is an open set containing x but not y, or there is an open set containing y but not x.
- T1. A space is T1 (or accessible) if for every pair of distinct points x and y in the space, there is an open set containing x but not y. (Compare with T0; here, we are allowed to specify which point will be contained in the open set.) Equivalently, a space is T1 if all its singletons are closed. T1 spaces are always T0.
- T2. See Hausdorff.
- T3. See Regular Hausdorff.
- T3½. See Tychonoff.
- T4. See Normal Hausdorff.
- T5. See Completely normal Hausdorff.
- Topological space. A topological space is a set X equipped with a collection T of subsets of X satisfying the following conditions:
The union of any collection of sets in T is also in T. The intersection of any pair of sets in T is also in T. The collection T is called a topology on X.
if U is in Φ, then U contains { (x, x) : x in X }.
- Topologically complete. A space is topologically complete if it is homeomorphic to a complete metric space.
- Topology. See Topological space.
- Totally disconnected. A space is totally disconnected if it has no connected subset with more than one point.
- Trivial topology. The trivial topology on a set X consists of precisely the empty set and the entire space X.
- Tychonoff. A Tychonoff space (or completely regular Hausdorff space, completely T3 space, T3½ space) is a completely regular T0 space. (A completely regular space is Hausdorff if and only if it is T0, so the terminology is consistent.) Tychonoff spaces are always regular Hausdorff.
- Uniform space. A uniform space is a set U equipped with a nonempty system Φ of subsets of the Cartesian product X × ''X'\' satisfying the following:
if U is in Φ, then { (y, x) : (x, y) in U } is also in Φ if U is in Φ and V is a subset of X × X which contains U, then V is in Φ if U and V are in Φ, then U ∩ V is in Φ if U is in Φ, then there exists V in Φ such that, whenever (x, y) and (y, z) are in V, then (x, z) is in U. The elements of Φ are called entourages, and Φ itself is called a uniform structure on U.
- Uniform structure. See Uniform space.
- Weak topology. The weak topology on a set, with respect to a collection of functions from that set into topological spaces, is the weakest topology on the set which makes all the functions continuous.
- Weakly hereditary. A property of spaces is said to be weakly hereditary if whenever a space has that property, then so does every closed subspace of it. For example, compactness and the Lindelöf property are both weakly hereditary properties, although neither is hereditary.
