Generally, given a covering space , a deck transformation is a bundle-automorphism, hence a continuous map fixing the base .
Assuming without real restriction that is connected, then is a principal bundle with discrete fibers and the deck transformation determines and is determined by the element of the permutation group of its fiber over any fixed basepoint .
When the fundamental theorem of covering spaces applies (i.e. when is locally path-connected and semi-locally simply-connected topological space) then the fundamental group has a canonical action on this fiber, by a group homomorphism , and often it is specifically this -action which is referred to as being by deck transformations.
In particular, in the case that is the universal cover, then and is a -principal bundle with the fundamental group being identified with the group of deck transformations.
A deck transformation or cover automorphism is an automorphism of a covering space relative to the base space.
i.e. if is a cover then a cover automorphism is an automorphism of such that is invariant under composition with .
