Abstract. Covering mappings on the dyadic solenoid are studied. Some results stated by Zhou Youcheng (2000) are discussed in a more detailed way by indicating certain inaccuracies in their proofs. These are either corrected or supplemented, or else suitable counterexamples are constructed. Some open questions are asked and connections with related results are considered.In this paper a space always means a metric space, and a continuum is defined as a compact connected space. A mapping means a continuous function. We denote by N the set of all positive integers, by C the space of all complex numbers (equipped with the natural topology), and by S 1 the unit circle, i.e., S 1 = {z ∈ C : |z| = 1}. As usual, i means the imaginary unit, i.e., i 2 = −1, and exp stands for the exponential function, i.e., exp(iα) = cos α + i sin α.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
