In geometric group theory and dynamical systems the iterated monodromy group of a covering map is a group describing the monodromy action of the fundamental group on all iterations of the covering. A single covering map between spaces is therefore used to create a tower of coverings, by placing the covering over itself repeatedly. In terms of the Galois theory of covering spaces, this construction on spaces is expected to correspond to a construction on groups. The iterated monodromy group provides this construction, and it is applied to encode the combinatorics and symbolic dynamics of the covering, and provide examples of self-similar groups. ==Definition== The iterated monodromy group of ''f'' is the following quotient group: : where : * is a covering of a path-connected and locally path-connected topological space ''X'' by its subset , * is the fundamental group of ''X'' and * is the monodromy action for ''f''. * is the monodromy action of the iteration of ''f'', . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「iterated monodromy group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
