Given a covering $c:\tilde{X}\to X$, is there any set of conditions in order to have $T:\tilde{X}\to \tilde {X}$ to be a covering transformation provided $p=p\circ T$?
I know that if T is the identity, the problem is trivial. But is it true for any other T that is NOT the identity?
For $T$ to be a covering transformation all we need is $p=pT$. While it's true that the identity satisfies this, we can have many more possible $T$'s. Take for example the covering map $p : \Bbb{R} \rightarrow S^1$ given by the standard $p(x)=e^{2 \pi i x}$. Then integral translations are valid covering transformations. Namely, take $T: \Bbb{R} \rightarrow \Bbb{R}$ given by $T(x) = x + n$ where $n \in \Bbb{Z}$. Then it's easy to see that $p(x) = pT(x)$.
If you want $T$ (a covering transformation satisfying $p=pT$) itself to be a covering map: $T$ is always a covering map because $T$ is always a homeomorphism and homeomorphisms are always covering maps.
