Topologized Fundamental Groups: The Whisker Topology, Part 3

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Jeremy Brazas

In Part 1 and Part 2, I gave detailed introductory exposition about the whisker topology on the fundamental group. In general, this topologized fundamental group is a left topological group and therefore a homogeneous space. Moreover, whenever this group is … Continue reading →

Visualizing the Hopf Fibration

Posted on August 21, 2021 by Patrick Gillespie

This is a guest post by Patrick Gillespie, who is currently a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. The Hopf map is a classical example of a non-trivial fiber bundle. There are many great visualizations of … Continue reading →

Infinite Commutativity (Part II)

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Jeremy Brazas

In Infinite Commutativity: Part I, I described infinite commutativity in general terms with some basic examples, including real infinite series. In this post, I’ll discuss how the homotopy groups , are more than just abelian in the ordinary sense. Their … Continue reading →
