The Fundamental Algebraic Group of Topological Spaces
In the study of topology, we are often interested in understanding and classifying the internal structure of topological spaces. Algebraic topology is the application of abstract algebra to topology in order to further identify the structure of topological spaces by developing a correspondence between topological spaces and certain groups called homotopy groups. In this paper, we will examine t...
متن کاملLattice of compactifications of a topological group
We show that the lattice of compactifications of a topological group $G$ is a complete lattice which is isomorphic to the lattice of all closed normal subgroups of the Bohr compactification $bG$ of $G$. The correspondence defines a contravariant functor from the category of topological groups to the category of complete lattices. Some properties of the compactification lattice of a topological ...
متن کاملDiscreteness and Homogeneity of the Topological Fundamental Group
For a locally path connected topological space, the topological fundamental group is discrete if and only if the space is semilocally simplyconnected. While functoriality of the topological fundamental group for arbitrary topological spaces remains an open question, the topological fundamental group is always a homogeneous space.
متن کاملThe Fundamental Group
The focus of this exposition is the fundamental group of a topological space. The paper begins by defining paths and homotopy, and proceeds to construct the fundamental group. Later, attention turns to the consequences of the construction, in particular to the fundamental group of S1 and Van Kampen’s Theorem.
متن کاملThe Fundamental Group
This is the next article in a series devoted to the homotopy theory (following [11] and [12]). The concept of fundamental groups of pointed topological spaces has been introduced. Isomorphism of fundamental groups defined with respect to different points belonging to the same component has been stated. Triviality of fundamental group(s) of R n has been shown. the terminology and notation for th...
