Definition:Even Cover

Definition
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.

Let $\UU$ be a cover of $S$.

Let $S \times S$ denote the cartesian product of $S$ with itself.

Let $\tau_{S \times S}$ denote the product topology on $S \times S$.

Let $T \times T$ denote the product space $\struct{S \times S, \tau_{S \times S}}$.

Then $\UU$ is an even cover of $T$ there exists a neighborhood $V$ of the diagonal $\Delta_S$ of $S \times S$ in $T \times T$:
 * $\forall x \in S : \exists U \in \UU : V \sqbrk x = \set{y \in S : \tuple{x, y} \in V} \subseteq U$
