Topologized Fundamental Groups: The Quotient Topology Part 4 (Subgroup Classifications)

This is the last in a sequence of posts about the quotient topology. This one is about how the topological structure of can be used to classify certain generalizations of covering maps for locally complicated spaces. Sometimes it still amazes … Continue reading

The Griffiths twin cone and the harmonic archipelago have isomorphic fundamental group (Part 2)

This is Part 2 of a guest post by Sam Corson, who is a Heibronn Fellow at the University of Bristol. It will be helpful to read Part 1 first. We will furthermore overload the notation used for word concatenation … Continue reading

The Griffiths twin cone and the harmonic archipelago have isomorphic fundamental group (Part 1)

This is a guest post by Sam Corson, who is a Heibronn Fellow at the University of Bristol. This first post will provide background on the infinite word combinatorics which are used in the description of the fundamental group of … Continue reading
