A countable
space with an uncountable fundamental group

Abstract |
|
Traditional examples of spaces that have an uncountable fundamental group (such as the Hawaiian earring space) are path-connected compact metric spaces with uncountably many points. We construct a compact, path-connected, locally path-connected topological space with countably many points but with an uncountable fundamental group. The construction of , which we call the “coarse Hawaiian earring” is based on the construction of the usual Hawaiian earring space where each circle is replaced with a copy of the four-point “finite circle”. |
