Leighton's theorem: Extensions, limitations and quasitrees

Martin R Bridson and Sam Shepherd

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 881–917
Abstract

Leighton’s theorem states that if there is a tree T that covers two finite graphs G1 and G2, then there is a finite graph Ĝ that is covered by T and covers both G1 and G2. We prove that this result does not extend to regular covers by graphs other than trees. Nor does it extend to nonregular covers by a quasitree, even if the automorphism group of the quasitree contains a uniform lattice. But it does extend to regular coverings by quasitrees.
