The universal covering component conjecture for connected types
Let be a connected type, let denote its universal -covering, and let denote the type of -coverings of . The connected component of in is the component equivalent to .
Universal covering component conjecture. The connected component of in is .
This conjecture is proposed as a means of constructing deloopings of higher groups from universal coverings. The supplied text does not indicate whether it has been proved or remains open.
