The natural quotient map q from the space of based loops in the Hawaiian earring onto the fundamental group provides a new example of a quotient map such that q x q fails to be a quotient map. This also settles in the negative the question of whether the fundamental group (with the quotient topology) of a compact metric space is always a topological group with the standard operations.
Endowed with quotient topology inherited from the space of based loops, the fundamental group of the Hawaiian earring fails to be metrizable. The fundamental group of any space which retracts to the Hawaiian earring is also nonmetrizable.
The harmonic archipelago HA is obtained by attaching a large pinched annulus to every pair of consecutive loops of the Hawaiian earring. We clarify the fundamental group pi1(HA) as a quotient of the Hawaiian earring group, provide a precise description of the kernel, show that both pi1(HA) and the kernel are uncountable, and that pi1(HA) has the indiscrete topology.
The paper is devoted to study the structure of Hawaiian groups of some topological spaces. We present some behaviors of Hawaiian groups with respect to product spaces, weak join spaces, cone spaces, covering spaces and locally trivial bundles. In particular, we determine the structure of the $n$-dimensional Hawaiian group of the $m$-dimensional Hawaiian earring space, for all $1\leq m\leq n$.
The set of homotopy classes of based paths in the Hawaiian earring has a natural $\mathbb R$-tree structure, but under that metric the action by the fundamental group is not by isometries. Following a suggestion by Cannon and Conner, this paper defines an $\mathbb R^ω$-metric that does admit for an isometric action by the fundamental group. The space does not become an $\mathbb R^ω$-tree but is $0$-hyperbolic and embeds in an $\mathbb R^ω$-tree. Cannon and Conner define big free groups $\operatorname{BF}(c)$ for cardinal number $c$ which are a generalization of the fundamental group of the Haw…
We attach copies of the circle to points of a countable dense subset $D$ of a separable metric space $X$ and construct an earring space $E(X,D)$. We show that the fundamental group of $E(X,D)$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the Hawaiian earring group, if the space $X$ is simply-connected and locally simply-connected. In addition if the space $X$ is locally path-connected, the space $X$ can be recovered from the fundamental group of $E(X,D)$.
We show the classical $π_1$-action on the $n$-th homotopy group can fail to be continuous for any $n$ when the homotopy groups are equipped with the natural quotient topology. In particular, we prove the action $π_1(X)\timesπ_n(X)\toπ_n(X)$ fails to be continuous for a one-point union $X=A\vee \mathbb{H}_n$ where $A$ is an aspherical space such that $π_1(A)$ is a topological group and $\mathbb{H}_n$ is the $(n-1)$-connected, n-dimensional Hawaiian earring space $\mathbb{H}_n$ for which $π_n(\mathbb{H}_n)$ is a topological abelian group.
The classical archipelago is a non-contractible subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ which is homeomorphic to a disk except at one non-manifold point. Its fundamental group, $\mathcal{A}$, is the quotient of the topologist's product of $\mathbb Z$, the fundamental group of the shrinking wedge of countably many copies of the circle (the Hawaiian earring), modulo the corresponding free product. We show $\mathcal{A}$ is locally free, not indicable, and has the rationals both as a subgroup and a quotient group. Replacing $\mathbb Z$ with arbitrary groups yields the notion of archipelago groups. Surprisingly, …
We construct a space $\mathbb{P}$ for which the canonical homomorphism $π_1(\mathbb{P},p) \rightarrow \checkπ_1(\mathbb{P},p)$ from the fundamental group to the first Čech homotopy group is not injective, although it has all of the following properties: (1) $\mathbb{P}\setminus\{p\}$ is a 2-manifold with connected non-compact boundary; (2) $\mathbb{P}$ is connected and locally path connected; (3) $\mathbb{P}$ is strongly homotopically Hausdorff; (4) $\mathbb{P}$ is homotopically path Hausdorff; (5) $\mathbb{P}$ is 1-UV$_0$; (6) $\mathbb{P}$ admits a simply connected generalized covering space …
A space $X$ is "sequentially $n$-connected" at $x\in X$ if for every $0\leq k\leq n$ and sequence of maps $f_1,f_2,f_3,\dots:S^k\to X$ that converges toward a point $x\in X$, the maps $f_m$ contract by a sequence of null-homotopies that converge toward $x$. We use this property, in conjunction with the Whitney Covering Lemma, as a foundation for developing new methods for characterizing higher homotopy groups of finite dimensional Peano continua. Among many new computations, a culminating result of this paper is: if $Y$ is a space obtained by attaching an infinite shrinking sequence $A_1,A_2,A…
