A countable space with an uncountable fundamental group

Jeremy Brazas and Luis Matos

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 3, 381–394
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 T0 compact, path-connected, locally path-connected topological space H with countably many points but with an uncountable fundamental group. The construction of H, which we call the “coarse Hawaiian earring” is based on the construction of the usual Hawaiian earring space = n1Cn where each circle Cn is replaced with a copy of the four-point “finite circle”.
