Abstract
We study the homeomorphism types of certain covers of (always orientable)
surfaces, usually of infinite-type. We show that every surface with non-abelian
fundamental group is covered by every noncompact surface, we identify the
universal abelian covers and the $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$-homology covers of
surfaces, and we show that non-locally finite characteristic covers of surfaces
have four possible homeomorphism types.
