The Hawaiian earring group is topologically incomplete

Paul Fabel

The premier exhibition of the following phenomenon: The fundamental group of any Peano continuum constructed in similar fashion to the Hawaiian earring admits two natural distinct…

A characterization of spaces with discrete topological fundamental group

Paul Fabel

We offer a counterexample to a theorem in the literature and then repair the theorem as follows: The fundamental group of a locally path connected metric space inherits the discret…

A retraction theorem for topological fundamental groups with application to the Hawaiian earring

Paul Fabel

A characterization of regular topological fundamental groups yields a `no retraction theorem' for spaces constructed in similar fashion to the Hawaiian earring.

Topological fundamental groups can distinguish spaces with isomorphic homotopy groups

Paul Fabel

We exhibit a map f between aspherical spaces X and Y such that f induces an isomorphism on homotopy groups but, with natural topologies, X and Y fail to have homeomorphic fundament…

A monomorphism theorem for the inverse limit of nested retracts

Paul Fabel

Various characterizations are offered of injectivity of the canonical fundamental group homomorphism for a certain class of inverse limit spaces. One application characterizes the…

The fundamental group of the harmonic archipelago

Paul Fabel

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…
