The Twelfth Week: The Universal Covering Space

Michio Kuga

A chapter in Galois’ Dream: Group Theory and Differential Equations, 1993, pp 77-82 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract When I was a schoolboy, I was seized by the idea that everyone has an invisible tail at his back. This tail is very light, a million miles long, very thin, and trails behind as we walk, from birth to death. The tail extends far away, beyond our world, and originates in the Land of the Dead. When we walk, the tail is reeled out from its source. When we have pulled out the entire tail, we die.
